Re: Paging software



     From:  Josh Smith <joshnetmarket.com> 
     Subject:  Paging software 

     Greetings, all:
     
     I spoke with a couple of people at the recent SANS conference in DC about
     software to handle IXO paging, and the two free packages that came up most
     often were buzzerd and tpage.
     
     I've found tpage at a couple of sites on the net, but they all seem to be
     missing things like a Makefile, in spite of there being references to one 
     in the docs.
     
     I haven't been able to track down buzzerd anywhere. It seems to have been
     presented at LISA VI by Darren R. Hardy and Herb M. Morreale, but archie
     didn't have any sites for it, and it wasn't listed in the UUNET archives
     master index.

It's sad to report, but buzzerd has it's wings clipped a bit
too early in life (lack of funding).  We haven't released it for 
public domain yet since there's still possible it might have a 
second life.  If it doesn't start twitching soon, I'll probably
release around the end of this year.

tpage is my recommendation...
