1. Install audacious on the client/local-side:

Copy the config.ini.example file to config.ini file on your local computer. Then edit it for your settings. 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...

I suggest you do it like this:

crontab -e

add this line to the bottom:

@reboot ~/Documents/SyncPager/startpager start

Finally start it up like this: cd ~/Documents/SyncPager;~/Documents/SyncPager/startpager start
