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.

i have something like 40+ page tunes here in "RAMUSIC" format... they're not exactly the same as what i showed in my response but i think they
are close enough to be easily converted in a script... i'll see what i
can do over the next days if you're interested and get the beep method working ;) ;) ;)
