3287.0. "Warning bell at variable volumes" by RDGENG::EGLIN () Wed May 14 1997 07:50

Hi,

I am using an application (TeMIP) which has the functionality to invoke the
audible warning bell at variable volumes. This works okay on UNIX/VMS work
stations but the variable component is lost using Excursion (ie gives a
constant volume).

Is this an Excursion 'feature' or can it be enabled?

Thanks
Colin Eglin

    That's to be expected.  I don't think there's any way to vary the
    volume on the PC speaker.  On workstations you often have keyboard
    "bells" and the speakers on those keyboards are designed to vary the
    volume.
    
    Now 3.0 of eXcursion of does support sound cards.  I'm sure it would be
    possible for the server to honor the Bell request if the PC is equipped
    with a sound card.  You might file a suggestion QAR.
