Jim did, in skymon (incl in main mon distro). But that is a few years old and 
I don't even know if it works with recent versions. If anyone is using it, 
speak up, I'd be interested to hear.

skymon, or something like it, could be ported to other 2-way 
pagers/internet-phones. Putting together a generic system that allowed one to 
control mon through 2-way wireless devices would be hard, because there are 
so many differences in how different providers pass messages around. skymon 
worked because they all used skytel pagers and it was simple.

So if you and your co-workers all have the same 2-way pagers, you might be 
able to make skymon work, or hack on it to make it better.

It's still a cool idea. If I was getting paged alot by mon I probably would 
take a shot at this, but alas, I'm at a BB shop now, and wishing even for a 
decent web interface, let alone a 2-way pager interface :)
