    I've programmed a baja mod that jazzes up the sysop pager.. it's mostlyãcosmetic, but there are a few handy features.. asks why the person wants toãpage the sysop, logs the reason., etc..ããQuestion is.. what would be the best way to make the bbs machine beep on theãsysop's end? sending beeps to the user is simple.. use the @beep@ code.. but Iãwant to hear it on the bbs machine too..ããI'm sure there are workarounds.. but I'm looking for something to just beepãas my percent-o-meter goes up during the page.. nothing fancy..ãã|04°±²Û|07 veetidããã..."What?!?

But this seemed to fix the problem.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ STAR STATION BBS <> Telnet <> Under the Moon )ã
