Hello all
    I have read the section that describes "If e-mail is not enough"
that talks about sending an SMS message or something else but there is
no explanation of what generates the actual connection. There is a
reference to "/usr/local/bin/smsalert" but this does not exist. Do I
have to first find, install, and configure some sort of SMS alert
program? If so, can someone suggest one?

Not without knowing your carrier. There are a number of programs out there, I quite like MercurySMS but YMMV.

Also, can Hobbit send a page
to a traditional paging carrier? If so, how is that done?

You'll just need the appropriate software for your carrier. I've been using the Net::SNPP perl module as my pager supplier has an SNPP interface.
