subject: Fixing Page SysOp in Myst

Hey all!

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. 

73!
