I can heartily agree. We have had to scrap using
What's up to monitor our PBX for alarm conditions.
We now use a Linux Box and home brew Perl to monitor
and Notify by SMS due to the length of messages sent.
The information we need is not able to be presented
in the first 100 characters because you have to include
the FROM: Subject then all ofthe Trap date time device etc.
before you get to the trap which Oh, by the way, also
incudes date, time, device etc.  .....
