2.1. Addressing
This number is used to construct the address of a radio pager server,
which forms the recipient address for the message, e.g., either
pager(_at_)6(_dot_)7(_dot_)7(_dot_)8(_dot_)0(_dot_)4(_dot_)9(_dot_)5(_dot_)1(_dot_)4(_dot_)1(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int
or
pager(_dot_)ATOM(_at_)6(_dot_)7(_dot_)7(_dot_)8(_dot_)0(_dot_)4(_dot_)9(_dot_)5(_dot_)1(_dot_)4(_dot_)1(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int
I still don't understand why this (and like-minded
print or FAX servers) aren't addressed according to:
pager+4159408776(_at_)pagerserver(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int
or even just
+4159408776(_at_)pagerserver(_dot_)tpc(_dot_)int
There's certainly nothing wrong with exploiting DNS and MX
to solve this problem, but I'd like to hear from those who have
considered the alternative(s) and prefer the above scheme (or don't).
