Re: Pager/ notification system?

Don't use email for paging. ICOM/400 ( icom400.com ) will soon have
available a feature that allows you to connect directly to the pager company
through the internet and alert the paging device. No email needed. No Lag.

| This sounds so true!

| A buddy of mine uses Messenger Plus to monitor his system. His company
went
| one step further and added EVERY employee in the company who had a pager
| into this (most employees have alpha pagers). This way, anybody on the
| system could send a page to whomever they wanted to reach.
|
| I think it would be a good idea for the paging programs to support
multiple
| methods of pager contact. For example, IS Mgr's pager is always dial-out,
| salesman's pager is always Internet, etc. Keep in mind that every dial
| connection costs a few cents and utilizing a pipe that is already in place
| and paid for makes good sense.

| Because it's real hard to have email sent to your paging service
| letting you know that your net-connection or email server is down
| when your net-connection or email server is down.
|
| We've tested both email-paging and dialout-paging and found that
| dialout has been both faster and more reliable.
