Not many sysops really want to be paged probably, but I do. I'll chat if I'mnot busy. How do you chat in Mystic though? It's not ALT-C like Renegade. Iguess that will be tomrrow's lesson for me.
Reading manuals is the lamer way of finding stuff out. :)
Mystic SysOps:
Let users page you for a chat via email with an easy Python script:

This thing works good for me. You need 2 email addresses (one to send
from and one to receive with.) Then just make a rule to your spam filter in the receiving email account, or add yourself to your contacts, depending on which email systems you use.

There are certain email endpoints you can hit to send yourself a text message. I do this and have my cell phone set to use "do not disturb" hours.That said, nobody has paged me because my board is closed, but
I've pagedmyself and it works :P
Run ./nodespy & then press Enter on the user to bring up the chat option.
I know your pain; I've modified SO much on my BBS - and its basically
for no one/me. Oh well, I'm going to keep it up long term so... Whenever someone DOES want some kickass file areas, vintage pinup photos/videos, and all of mods - its there.
Shitty, thats a really cool script! Great job, I think I might have to
For chatting:
If you load up nodespy real quick, and hit [ENTER] on the user, you
just press C to chat. Also, if you're logged into your BBS you can
always force a user into chat with either the /P or /C commands...

Instead of that code that I posted here, it would be better to pass a string of text submitted by the BBS user to the sysop's phone in a text message. I'll look into that. Did you do it with Python?

There's a mod - cl_paging - written by niter3 of clutch.
It isn't working for me at the moment and I need to debug what's going on, lol. Just realized this as well haha.
I have a mod I wrote that will let you know when a new user has been created via email. If people are interested, I will gladly pack it up
and release it.
Psh, do you have to ask!? If there's one thing people around here want, it's more mods :P

Ok. I'm calling your board after I logoff here ;)
That other method you mentioned: /P or /C are for Windows only, I think.
I haven't been "sysop-paged" yet, it would be a rare thing. But I know it'sgonna be kinda hilarious whenever it finally happens :)
LOL - I saw that you dialed in. Thanks kindly, and hope you thought my brain explosion of a BBS was... nifty. :P
