You get paid $x/hr for being on call and available. If the moment arised that you needed to respond to the page and work you got paid for 4 hours (regular hourly rate) just for starters. If the job only took you 30 minutes you still got the 4 hours pay, plus the hourly rate of being on call. If you happened to work over that 4 hour period you got paid another 4 hours pay. I've seen this approach for both nurses and pharmicists.
I asked my boss how on call time was handled and if we got compensated for being available. The answer that I received was, its part of the job...
When I was still in school we had lab assistants that were basically students who knew just a little more than the average joe. However, I proactivly made myself part of the IT dept. I never had a thing for Novell though. So, I convinced them to buy thier first linux box.:-)
I still lend them a hand from time to time because the only other guy there that understands it is swamped...go figure.
V3 2000 good my ass! Well its *OK* for 2D but don't even think about 3D. I refuse to play UT in a 640x480 window! Hell I might as well buy UT for Dreamcast and play it on my NTSC 530 lines:-)

Is anyone using this in a production environment yet? I've toyed with the idea but all machines that I have tried it on end up with corrupted data...

I can turn my dreamcast into a DNS server. You know how hard it is to enter a zone file with that damn controller!!!
