Is there any way to turn off the pterm system beep (like when you try to
backspace into the prompt)?

It’s really annoying me.

Thanks,

Oooh, I didn’t think about that!

Seriously, I’d like to know also, we have several Phindows connected to a qrtp
server, You could guess the noise, the server’s room looks like a Morse
communication center!

Pterm just tries to write a ‘\a’ to /dev/con1. You could chmod it to
make sure that people can’t write to it…

The other option is to fire up a null resmgr to take over /dev/con1. :wink:
