RE: Paging from Power System running IBM i

Last time I implemented a pager for communications, the service provider offered a SMTP gateway, allowing pager messages to be sent via email. The email address looked something like 9876543210@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Check with Unication to see if they provide a SMTP gateway...

Subject: Paging from Power System running IBM i

Believe it or not we have a customer that has employees carrying pagers
(Hospital)

Their employees carry pagers by Unication.



Instead of us emailing notifications of system messages/issues they want us
to sending via a page.



Does anyone have any ideas on how one would start looking into how to do
this (I have to write a program)

Not allowed to use a modem off the Power System because it may be down.

Are there any example programs or freeware available for this?



Or does anyone know someone with the knowledge to write the program(s) for
us.

(Nice project for an unemployed programmer)



I know there are 3rd party vendors that have software that can do this but
this is not allowed.



Thanks



John
