Yes, there is a one-to-one mapping between notifiers and paging subscribers. (We don't have the notion of paging groups, although the effect of using multiple notifiers is the same.) When you create your first notifier, set up the Paging Service(s) and add your 5 subscribers. Then, after creating the first notifier and pointing it at the first subscriber, create four more notifiers and point them to the remaining subscribers. If you want, you can then create a "Group Notifier" within InterMapper that includes your five notifiers. The advantage is that you only have to attach the group notifier to your device. > 2 - And, if I attach all 5 separate Pager Notifiers to our e-mail server, > will it send out all 5 pages one after the other? In short, yes. If all 5 notifiers use the same paging service, then InterMapper will attempt to dial the paging service once and send the pages all on the same connection (if the paging service allows it, not all do). If the subscribers are split between paging services which are configured to use the same modem, then the subscribers are queued within the second and third paging services, as they wait to access the modem. If you have multiple modems and multiple paging services pointed at different modems, then the pages will go out in parallel.
