Yep.  It's one of the "Should be in the FAQ" questions.  :)  Don't worry--It
bit me too!

Go into your local.rules and make sure you have something like:

 redalert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"REDRUM REDRUM"; content:"redalerttest")

Then just do a telnet and type 'redalerttest'.  Presto, alerts to both.

Hope this helps!
