RE: Paging software for the iSeries

dumb question:  wy don't you just use something like Skytel that allows
you to just email a pager PIN @ skytel.com and the pager gets the message?
I use this all the time...  You should be easily able to use the mail
server on the 400 or your own internal mail servers...and just relay to
them...
