Re: flexfax: paging gateway

[Andy McNiece <andym@parr.com>]

I use a program called "bb" which can monitor a number of services.  I
have it set to page me using the Hylafax paging module. The program
will also automatically generate a web page with visual alerts.  It
currently monitors 17 routers and five hosts at my site.

The program "bb" is available at http://MacLawran.ca/bb-dnld.  Is is set
to use kermit as it's paging mechanism but it is actually much simpler to
use the sendfax program in the Hylafax software.
