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

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 | | Top |

| | 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. | | Top |
