FUN: "Pilot Was Here" Web Page

UPDATE: PhoneWatcher 2.0d14 (Personal Telephone Manager + Caller ID)

http://www.markspace.com/phonewatcher.html PhoneWatcher is a personal telephone manager for your Macintosh and modem. PhoneWatcher 2.0d14 is the current version, and a public beta is available at the web site. The biggest change (since 2.0d13) is that you can now run the application even if the init failed to load (or you choose to disable it). Of course when the init has not loaded you won't be able to see init related preferences, and data will not be collected. But you can still view the phone log,phone book, area/country codes windows, etc. Features of PhoneWatcher v2.0 (under development): * Always available: * Area codes map and searchable database (NEW!) * Country codes map and searchable database (NEW!) * Phone Pad window with Speed Dialing (NEW!) * With any modem, all of the above plus: * Logging of date/time and number of rings of all incoming calls * Pager notification of incoming calls * Sound notification of incoming calls * Serial Port Arbitration (other programs can dial out when PhoneWatcher is running) * With Caller ID modem/device and Caller ID service, all of the above plus: * Logging of name/number of incoming calls * Caller ID information included in pager notification * Automatic entry of unknown callers to Phone Book * Call Blocking * Custom speech alert on a per-caller basis * Custom notification dialog on a per-caller basis * Automatic (optional) synchronizing/setting system clock to Caller ID data * With a Rochelle Caller ID device, all of the above plus: * Logging of all outgoing calls * Logging of call durations

STORY: PhoneWatcher Pays for Itself!

http://www.markspace.com/phonewatcher.html "I'm a Mac user, and work as an independent audio editor and producer. A great many of my clients are in a hurry to get their work done, and if I don't get back in touch quickly they tend to move on to the next guy, whether his quality of work matches mine or not. PhoneWatcher has paid for itself many times over in revenue from folks who I reach within minutes of their call to my home office. PhoneWatcher has been, and continues to be very, very helpful." I'm really glad you guys make this product. Jack Kelehear, kelehear@scsn.net, http://www.scsn.net/kelehear/

SOLUTION: PageSentry 2.5 now includes direct PageNOW! Support

http://www.maxum.com/PageSentry/ Check it out! No more scripts needed, PageSentry 2.5 now allows you to directly send notices via PageNOW! Be sure to ask about the super special prices for the PageSentry/PageNOW! bundles from Maxum (Mac and Windows!) "PageSentry is the complete Internet server monitor that provides HTTP (Web), FTP, SMTP (E-Mail), DNS, and Telnet server reliability from a single computer anywhere on the Internet. For 100% reliability, TCP "pings" aren't enough to tell you that your Internet servers are running. PageSentry uses real HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS, and Telnet client services to test the whole server, not just the low-level networking functions. Monitoring Internet servers means that PageSentry executes server tests at user-defined intervals. When a problem with the server is detected, the site manager is sent an alert by E-Mail or Pager. PageSentry supports several products right out of the box, including one that will send alpha-numeric pages (using PageNow!) and another that restarts your server automatically (using Sophisticated Circuits PowerKey Pro). Both of these products are available in bundles with PageSentry directly from Maxum."

SOLUTION: Using PageNOW! with Nextel

User tip: "Apparently Nextel uses xxx-xxx-NOTE so the number for me is: xxx-xxx-6683, 7-E-1." (Yes, 6683 spells "N-O-T-E" on your phonepad.)
