- what is blackboard page/chat door?
- the main reason i wrote this was because i hated the sound that my bbs's
- built in sysop page made. as i wrote this i thought of some additional
- things that i've always wanted in a page and chat util (ansi AND sound to
- get sysop's attention, ansi if sysop isn't there, a tolerable yet noticable
- paging sound, a small log file so i can view who tried to page me, what time,
- and a reason, which is easier than looking through the entire bbs log).
