It occurred to me today that I've never heard a 3270 audible alarm on
any TN3270 session in my shop.  I went looking around and discovered
that Zephyr Passport (the prevalent TN3270 client here) supports "bell"
and custom alarm WAVfiles.

It isn't obvious whether x3270 supports audible alarms.  I'm not getting
audibles out of the HMC x3270 instance connected via OSA Express2, or my
own x3270 client talking to the z/OS TN3270 server.

Neither have I ever heard a peep from ANY of the TN3270 emulators.
Suddenly I have a need for this, as the last green screen is heading for
the boneyard and the operators relying on SMCS consoles need the beeps
to keep them awake.

So: do TN3270 SMCS consoles support audible alarm?  If so then where
should I look to enable it?  Is this a forgotten VTAM features or
modetab thing that languishes in obscurity?
