You misunderstand how paging works in Hobbit.

The BBWin client should never care about paging. All of the paging is
configured on the Hobbit server, in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file. The
BBWin client just sends a status message to the Hobbit server; the
Hobbit server then decides if an alert should be sent, based on the
color of the status, the configuration in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file,
the time of day ... 

So, there is no reason to implement this unless you want to be
compatible with an original Big Brother server.
