  3. On the BBS server copy syncnotify to /sbbs/exec - follow instructions on adding main script in scfg when sysop is being paged

Edit the config.ini file on your local computer. Should be self explainatory. Most important is the CheckURL entry that should be like the default but for your BBS server.

Then all you need to do is run the SyncPager script and let it run and you will be notified when someone tries to chat with you...
