Nagios 1.2 - qpage

I am more than likely being very simple here. However i run qpage and i have
various groups setup within qpage allready. An example would be...
$ qpage all "My message here"
And i would receive "My message here" on our pagers - The modem is connected
locally etc. So what i don't get is how can i get the nagios box itself to
send the page rather than generating an email that gets sent as a page by
another process or service?
I don't think i'm trying to reinvent the wheel am i? Just we have Netsaint
running in this setup with TBOX from early 2002 and i like the way that
works.
thanks - and i'm sure its just me being dumb.
(BTW) - Here is a snip from the log whoch shows Nagios doing its thing with
regard to sending the notification...
[1100262362] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagios;dbrestore;/dev/hda3 Free
Space;WARNING;notify-by-epager;DISK WARNING [3230548 kB (18%) free on
/dev/hda3]
So i think that as long as i can get the alert generated as a page rather
than an email it will work
