It was for my own use. But one of my bbs users convinced me to share so here it is. You will notice that instead of writing the Chat Request to the callerslog, it mails the sysop a note with the request and reason. This is because I don't usually look at the callerslog. I like to be notified by mail that 'Joe User' wanted me and why. StormCHAT is a PPE that will page the sysop to chat using a sysop defined .voc file player and a sysop defined .voc file through your Soundblaster. After the page, the chat request and reason is MAILED to the sysop. The user also has the option of sending a comment to a sysop defined user (i.e you the sysop or a co-sysop that handles comments) 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿔NSTALLATION AND SETUP � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 1.
