For our notifications, we just send e-mails as text messages to their cell
phones.  Most of our users have cell phones, and with the invent of SMS
and text messaging, pagers are no longer needed.  For verizon, we shoot
emails to Number at vtext.com and for Att customers, we shoot e-mails to
Number at mobile.att.net.  Both work great.

Not sure here, but I am sure there is, with some AGI scripting or using
the sample.call file.  You can then run Background to await DTMF input.
