+QuickPage sends messages to a paging terminal using the SNPP and IXO
+(also known as TAP) protocols. It is normally used with no options
+other than a recipient and the message text, in which case the message
+is sent to the SNPP server where it is submitted to a page queue to be
+sent by a separate daemon process. Page groups and duty schedules are
+supported. Status notification messages indicating the success or
+failure of a page are sent via e-mail to submitters of high-priority
+(level 0) pages.
+
+Quickpage can act as an SNPP server or client. For more details on
+SNPP, see RFC 1861.
