7.6 COMP2
COMP2 allows a "dumb terminal" to be used to send a page, although any device that can output RS-232 data
can be used. It has the added capability of selecting which pager to send the data to.
All data entering the serial port is sent to a specified pager. The reception of a <CR> initiates the page. If the
last <CR> is not sent within the pre-programmed timeout period, the OSMAC BaseOSMAC Base will abort this transaction, and
begin waiting for a new <Page #> entry.

The Entry Device (in this case it is often a user
on a terminal) type in the message to send to a
pre-set pager.
Characters are echoed back.
