Add support for TAP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telocator_Alphanumeric_Protocol

Many carriers support this: https://www.inforad.com/techsupport/helpcenter/index.php?lstMenu=ServicesAndReceivers&searchtxt=TAP (e.g. Arch and USA Mobility are now Spok)

Could be used to allow AlphaMate terminals to call in to a local Asterisk, where it could then translate that to SNPP or email.

For example, TAPReceive() could be the server (receiving) application and TAPSend() could be used to send data to a TAP server. It would be expected for use during an already-established call.

Bonus feature would be acting as a TAP client as well.

Kermit implementation: https://www.kermitproject.org/ftp/kermit/scripts/alphapage

We'll want to ensure we avoid some of the mistakes that sendpage has rectified over the years, e.g.:

0.9.4a: (07/13/2000, point-release due to serious numeric-only paging bug)
       - created the "lfok" option and corrected the ctrl-char detection
         code.  This bug made paging numeric pagers impossible because of
         the trailing LF.
