I got to thinking.  Isn't the best form of push technology is email?  It's
waiting there when you get to it and it can be verified that you read it.
It can be read from many devices (even voice synthesis in a car).  You can
set a priority to it and it can contain links to further information.  Just
a thought.

Too sad that WinPopup windows do not seem to allow cut&paste.
Otherwise you could use a small web page where people can register
their netbios name or PC logon or IP address for notification and
then get pop up windows by smbclient -M that give them a URL to
visit for details.

On a second thought, you might still figure out a scheme where
each registered client gets a unique URL (maybe with his or her
netbios name, PC logon or IP address or somesuch in the URL or
in a -shudder- cookie) and use the smbclient -M popup window
only for telling them "please revisit your bookmarked page".
