If you are relying on AT&T's paging/SMS service (for your phones) to be alerted to (most certainly undesirable) operational events (or if you are replying to them via the 2-way SMS service), this is a good time for a backup pager: mesdns02.mobile.att.net. 22h3s IN A 199.88.234.125 mesdns01.mobile.att.net. 22h3s IN A 199.88.234.61 Both are dead like a door stop, and we can speculate on wether they are located in the same physical building, on the same routed interface, and the same physical switch, which failed the single processor blade driving both of them. I have pagers in my queue that are now more than 65 minutes old.
Back in the day when we had pagers (they still make those?), we'd find that emailing things to pagers wasn't the brightest idea around. Perhaps getting that old Hayes 2400 out, and getting a TAP/IXO thing going..? On Tue, 29 Apr 2003, Kai Schlichting wrote:

If you have a clueful paging provider, they should let you do SNPP. Think of it as TAP over IP. http://www.snpp.info/
OK, perhaps

The single most important page is the one saying "the network is broken." My last system was designed to test IP connectivity to the paging service and send a "network down" page to all admins via TAP. All other notifications were sent only via IP due to simplicity, speed, and cost.
