RE: Pager Companies

How do you send that page saying that your web connection is down?  We
decided to go with the e-mail as primary and escalate to direct dial to the
pager company.  We use ICOM for monitoring the system and sending pages.

I can't recommend a specific pager company, but I would suggest that you
consider text pagers. To send a message you simple need to send an email
over the Internet. We do it with our AS/400 all the time.

        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,
