you may want to check out DPS's IAM product. We use it and it's been reliable. They have also been willing to customize things for us in the past- http://dpstele.com/ Regards, Keith -----Original Message----- From: Allan Liska [mailto:allan@allan.org] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 5:46 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Alert to Phone/Pager System I am looking for a hardware/software solution to a problem and I am hoping someone has implemented something similar: A monitoring system notices an error and sends an alert to a system (the alert can be sent over POTS or SMTP). The system recevies the alert and sends out a message (Pager/POTS/SMTP/SMS) to a group of people in a pager rotation. The 1st person is paged, if no response is received the second person is paged and so on down the line until someone responds. I looked at the Dialogic's The Communicator: http://www.dccusa.com/products.html But, it is a little pricey. I also looked at VOCP System: http://www.vocpsystem.com/ But, the desision maker is a little skittish about open source projects. Does anyone know of a happy medium between these two systems that will fill the requirements outlined above? Thanks! allan -- Allan Liska allan@allan.org http://www.allan.org
