I used to manage that in a round-a-bout way. I had a peer-peer network 
running on PNW from my bedroom (cold, no TV, but where the BBS sat) to the 
lounge (warm, TV, need I say more? :-). I used an 8-wire cable, but only 4 
wires were used for the actual network. I used another 2 to run an external 
speaker from the BBS machine to near where I was, so I could hear pages OK. 
If someone paged, I'd shell, load the other node of the BBS on the local 
machine, and page them with the internode chat in Maximus.. My YELLREQ.MEC 
file had instructions there for the user explaining how to access the 
internode chat and answer my page.
Cya..
