Yup this is for backwards compatability for BigBrother, which I am
forced to use :(

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.
