Re: Paging software for the iSeries

Judging by past inquires into Robot stuff, I would wager that their 
solution probably wouldn't beat even Byteware's, pricewise.

If you are looking for something that will monitor message queues and 
send pages under certain conditions, I recommend against Robot/Alert.

Robot/Alert is a fine paging package ... but that's all it is.  It only 
sends pages.  It integrates well with the other Robot products, but as a 
stand alone system it's kind of lacking.

Mind you, the last time I looked at Robot/Alert was about 7 years ago 
... so things might have changed.
