Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  Sorry then maybe this isn't a solution for you. You might check the 
settings of your serial-connection client machine, maybe there is a way 
to enable the bell sound. For instance Putty offers different actions 
upon receiving a bell via the terminal. Maybe your client is just 
ignoring the bell character when it receives it (via ttyS0)?
