RE: Control G Beep on Telnet session using Cygwin

["Jim Gelasakis" <gelasakis at Pulse dot com dot au>]

Me Again,

We have determined that a session in Vi when Escape is pressed
we hear the the beep we want on the server - No sound card is used
instead it is a system bell.

When we do this through a telnet session the beep still happens on the
server.

Any ideas on how vi calls this the Beep? And also any ideas on routing
it to the telnet session?

And yes it is a basic piezo beep not the WAV sound. sorry for the
maddening....

Kind Regards  
Jim Gelasakis

The Cygwin console uses the MessageBeep functionality of Windows, which
usually plays a WAV.

Huh?  ^G is the BEL character, and should generate a beep (or a ding),
but what does that have to do with named pipes?

If you aren't getting any sound at all, try googling for "cygwin
defaultbeep".  Otherwise, if you are getting the sound but not the one
you want, try it from an X application (e.g., xterm).  See
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00903.html> for more info (be
sure to read the follow-ups, though).
