Not the pager as in page length, but the one that triggers your client's audio like a beeper?

Wouldn't that just be a matter of sending an ansi ctrl-G (ascii 07)?

Come test your mettle in the Land of Legends at telnet://tcdbbs.zapto.org:4000
or, for a little family oriented medieval fun, come join us at The Castle's Dungeon BBS at telnet://tcdbbs.zapto.org
or, if you just want information about either, check our web page at http://tcdbbs.zapto.org

Yes, Conner is right, that would work for e.g. telnet. But for other clients, it would depend on whether or not the client is set up to handle the bell signal.

I think that \a is just the escape code for the beep that Conner described.

But yes, looking at SMAUG's beep command would be a good starting point.

Our coder figured it out. It triggers a "beep" in Windows. Not sure how he did it, so sorry for a poor follow-up.
