RE: Pager Companies

Add northern California to the pager company list.  We were using Pagenet
which is now owned by Arch.  Customer service sucks.  Three strikes for
getting a pin number to work.  Still not working.

Group,

This may be a bit off topic, but I am sure that many of us carry pagers
for work purposes.  We are not very satisfied with our current pager
company (Arch) and are looking for a replacement.  I am looking for
some feed back regarding companies serving the Northeast Ohio
area.  Good experiences?  Bad experiences?  A company whom you
would or wouldn't refer?  

Also, is there anyone who is doing in-house paging from their AS400
possibly using RPG/ICF file as opposed to utilizing an external 
software product like Robot?   We currently use an RPG program
to page our programmer on call.  It is very basic and only dials the
pager number and upon making a connection a "tone only" page
is sent to the pager (analog, not digital).  We would like to refine
this to send a numeric page to the pager (digital).

If this is a little too off topic, you may respond to me privately.


Thanks,
