I've added SMS messeging to my WUG arsenal for those people who get messages on their cell phones, distinct from email.
As has been referred to, I needed an additional method beyond email and found that the staff was more likely to have their cell phones than their pager. SMS bypasses the email system and goes direct to the provider's modem; with WUP using the same modem I still use for pager messages. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Maltenfort Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 1:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Voice modem I know that it is possible to get the text paging to work with WUG. We use Skytell and are able to send out pages through both the internet and a modem. I know that one of the last points that I needed to do to get it to work when I was setting the baud down to 2400. David Maltenfort - Network Admin Council for Jewish Elderly >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/05 11:17 AM >>> I have been constantly lied to by Ipswitch. First they attempted to screw iMail users over last year and then they back tracked...(I switched to Smart Mail)...and then with WUG. One of the mail reasons I bought WUG was the voice notifications. Once I got it and finally got around to setting it up I was told that voice wouldn't work with anything past Windows 98. Since I can't do 98 I was screwed. But not to worry...it was being worked on and should be out soon...a few years go by. I kept my service agreement in line but never used the software. Last I'm told...it won't ever be fixed...they told me to use text messages. Fine...but what if the internet goes down...no email txt messages go out. They tell me to call my service provider and get the terminal number to directly send a txt message. After a few hours I finally got a number from Verizon...but after several hours of trying to get it to work, I finally gave up. So, it looks like 2 out of 3 products I've invested in with Ipswitch don't work or I was screwed over. I still use FTP server, but I'm thinking of looking at other products before they screw that up too. It seems perfectly logical that with the technology out there that ipswitch could provide a voice noticification. But, maybe they plan on dropping it and therefore not investing any time into it.
