If so what paging > software is working for you on FreeBSD systems? We use tpage here. Thats just because it happened to fit a lot better on our small pager gateway than hylafax. It has the odd problem, but it works well enough to have gotten me out of bed at 5:30 this morning to fix a dead news server. Together with Big Brother (from ports) it makes a pretty decent, if basic, network monitor. It can't monitor the news server very well (apart from checking its reachable ... it can check for acceps on port 119, but that has a problem during renumbers, for example).
