And you subject yourself to a large number of questions like:

	1) is *MY* mail system working?
	2) is the network between my system and nextel.com working?
	3) is Nextel's stuff working?

You might want to look at qpage (in the ports collection) and, if I
remember right, Hylafax (also in ports) has some paging capabilities.

I've used qpage in the past to setup SNPP servers that have worked 
quite well.
