It's getting harder to find English language content on SW but this'll get you started.

Re: Guide to decoding POCSAG on Linux

Nice.
2400 baud doesn't appear to be used on Australian networks so you'd get a bit of a performance boost by not having Multimon try to decode it.

Re: Streaming DFES scanner audio

Use http://stream.warsug.info:8000
That way I can change DNS records as required to point to a working server.
