I've always found that to get to the TAP Cluons at any Pager/Cellular 
company, you need to immediately talk to a supervisor. They will at 
least have heard of TAP, or "commercial applications which deliver 
pages by dialing in via modem" (if they don't know TAP *G*) and can 
usually at least direct you to the right people.

Playing the "I dunno what YOU guys call it, but I've got to get these 
pagers entered into the company paging system with all the other 
pagers" card usually works wonders for me when trying to track down 
TAP Clue.
