Most likely the same thing that Cingular said:
1) "well, we don't support that service anymore"
2) "we don't do that, we've never done that"
3) "huh?"
4) "you don't need a modem with your GSM phone, it has one built in"
5) "I've never heard of that, what is it?"
Nobody in "customer service" knows what TAP/IXO paging is, and you know
what? As long as they have all of the drug-dealers and soccer-moms buying
service from them without the need for TAP/IXO, they don't CARE.
Now, for an answer, search thru an archive of nanog and find the excel <gah!>
spreadsheet that I pointed people to about 2 months ago. It had several
hundred TAP/IXO modem numbers...
