+*** Synchronet v3.10 Instant Message Support ***
+
+To use the new "Instant message" feature, you need to do the following:
+
+o You must be running the Synchronet SMTP Mail Server on port 25
+  (publicly accessible).
+
+o You must be running the Synchronet Finger Service (exec/fingerservice.js)
+  - The UDP-Finger service is encouraged for faster user listings.
+  - This is enabled by default (both TCP and UDP) in the included
+    ctrl/services.cfg.
+
+o You should also have your BBS in the Synchronet BBS List (SBL) database.
+  - See http://synchro.net/sbbslist.html
+
+o Put the updated chat.asc in your text/menu directory.
+  - This is an updated chat menu that contains the [F]inger and [I]nstant
+    Message commands.
+
+o Create the following timed-event in SBBSCTRL:BBS->Configure->External
+  Programs->Timed Events:
+
+	Internal Code                   GETIMLST
+	Start-up Directory
+	Command Line                    *getimlst
+	Execution Node                  1
+	Execution Days                  Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
+	Execution Time                  12:00
+	Requires Exclusive Execution    No
+	Force Users Off-line For Event  No
+
+  This event will retieve a current list of BBSes that are instant-message
+  enabled daily.
+
+Now you will have an [I]nstant message option available from your [C]hat menu
+where your users can [L]ist other users, send [M]essages to active users or
+[T]elegrams to any user and system that supports SMTP telegrams.
+
+That's it! :-)
