You might want to check out tpage:

ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/sysadmin/misc/tpage_csops-2.1.tar.Z

The dox say that it supports alpha pagers; I'm not sure whether or not it
supports a vanilla numeric pager as well.

Here is an excerpt from the README:

        "tpage" or "Tom's Pager System" is a set of programs that let
        you send messages to alpha-numeric pagers using the "IXO" protocol.
        It supports a dialing directory, a "who's on duty now" schedule,
        and can do special tricks with RFC822-format email.
