What type of system, and what type of terminal or DECterm? (If this
is a DECterm on an OpenVMS workstation, is the margin bell enabled?
If so, see the <Options> <Keyboard> display.)

If margin bell isn't it...
Please post full SHOW TERMINAL output.
What is the value of the SYSGEN parameters
TTY_TYPAHDSZ?
TTY_ALTYPAHD?
TTY_ALTALARM?

| 166.7 | Look In Terminal Setup Menus | XDELTA::HOFFMAN | Steve, OpenVMS Engineering | Mon Feb 17 1997 09:36 | 11 |

Look in the terminal setup, not at the OpenVMS settings.
As this is apparently a `real' terminal, look in the terminal's setup
menus. There are similar menu options available for DECterm terminals.
OpenVMS does not normally ring a bell unless explicitly asked to. To
see if host software is requesting the bell, enable display of control
and escape sequences -- most terminals can be configured this way using
menu options, again, in the terminal setup menus.

| 166.8 | Try /HOSTSYNC | GIDDAY::GILLINGS | a crucible of informative mistakes | Mon Feb 17 1997 20:09 | 12 |
| > look in the terminal's setup
Check for a setting which says "margin bell" or similar. That may cause
the bell to ring whenever the cursor goes past a particular column
Remembering behaviour of a *long* time ago, I distinctly remember terminals
ringing a bell if you continued typing when the typeahead buffer was full.
You should be able to prevent that by setting /HOSTSYNC (IMHO that should
be a default on all systems anyway). I can't reproduce the beep on a
DECterm, but it may still happen on a "real" terminal with /NOHOSTSYNC.

Those are a little unusual although I can't say that I can see how they
would cause the problem. Usually TTY_ALTYPAHD is greater than
TTY_TYPAHDSZ. TTY_ALTALARM only makes sense when it is <= TTY_ALTYPAHD
(and would typically be at least a few characters less than TTY_ALTYPAHD).
You need to follow the advice from other notes i.e. establish whether
you have a margin bell and establish whether a bell is being sent
explicitly by the host. You probably ought to check what flow control
the terminal is set to generate and what flow control it is set to respect.
You need to use the terminal's own setup menu for all the things in
this paragraph.
