I have been using another competitive product that can send pages either via SMTP or an open messaging program such as Outlook 2003. I'm looking to change over to Pagegate due to some stability and TAP compatibility issues we've been running into woth that product. I've found using Outlook was more reliable because it appears like we loose authentication each night if relying upon SMTP only. In testing the PageGate demo, I can set up for outgoing SMTP but it too seems to fall prey to the loss of authentication each night. I'd prefer to use our Outlook client for PageGate to send messages through but do not see any options to set PageGate up to do so. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

We have been using a competitive product for a few years now but since upgrading from Win95 to WinXP, that product has become increasing less stable and problematic. As such, I'm considering migrating to PageGate and am looking for user feedback and insight especially with regards to system stability under Windows XP and and Outlook 2003 or Exchange Server 2003 environment. Our implementation is somewhat simplistic in that all we want is to accept inbound TAP calls and route them out to both TAP and internet addressed destinations (either via Outlook 2003 client or SMTP). We have recently discovered an issue involving authentication when trying to send SMTP messages to destinations outside our domain whereas Outlook client sent messages are alright and I'd rather not have to involve our IT people to much as they tend to blow things way out of proportion. The specific application we have is with monitoring devices that initiate either alphanumeric or numeric pager notifications and we utilize a paging gateway solution to expand the number of destinations beyond the few TAP limited protocol desitinations of the legacy monitoring devices. Thanks.
