   Fixing Page SysOp in Mystic Linux   
   03 Jan 17 12:37:00   
   
   Hey all!   
      
   So if anyone who runs Mystic on Linux knows, the Page SysOp option on the   
   main menu is broken. Choosing it doesn't do anything. While a few folks have   
   done what I have done, I assume, I wanted to just lay out what steps I took   
   for future SysOps or people trying it out, to know how you can get this   
   feature working. So I wrote up a blog post for my BBS blog and wanted to   
   share it here...

   TL;DR: I installed mpg123 and used the that to play an mp3 of a Star Trek SFX   
   that I made a 30 second loop of, while having Mystic show a box to the user   
   letting them know the Sysop has been paged.    
      
   73!
