I put this in my ip-up:
/usr/bin/bplay /usr/local/share/ppp/interweb.wav
where bplay is from the bplay package, and interweb.wav is a Babylon 5
sample I downloaded from somewhere ("Commencing Interweb Link", from
`A Spider in the Web' IIRC).
You need a sound card working for this, of course.

I would like a double beep, so i used `runq;runq' to get a suitable pause in between beeps... If anyone has a better idea :) I guess it's okay like that if you use queue_only (smail), you kind of need to deliver mail that arrives via fetchmail. :) Thank you again for any help recieved...

Re: Beeping the Speaker
Is it at all possible to beep the PC Speaker via bash? or perl... or whatever? Use `echo ^G' in sh, where you get the ^G by typing Control+V Control+G (at the prompt) or Control+Q Control+G (in emacs) or god knows what (in vi). -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
