Or run up the harmonic series, like at the beginning of those old tapes...
Just some thoughts,

wow, i too am glad to see that it created as much discussion as it did. and yes, i do believe that "sesame street" can be left alone. However i'm completely open to the Star Wars "Imperial March". 8-) I do think that if you have a startup "tone" that you have a shutdown "tone" play right before complete shutdown. I remember some of the distros i tried had the following as a startup beeps.
Both the following had a beep program:
ipcop - 6-7 note beeps/notes going higher
smoothwall - 3 beep/notes increasing
I found the FreeBSD port to this here: http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~f_osterf/beep/ (actually with this i think "Imperial March" could be done) :-)
astaro - 5 sequencial plain pc speaker beeps (also had power down beeps i remember)
Sorry for the long post but i figured i should chime in to my own disscusion, thanks again.

I do agree a beep would be sufficient.

I don't think we need something other than beeps, but they have to be unique so you know that it's a "ready" beep and not something caused by the bios or a system going down beep. We can leave the sesame street theme to other more "colourful" firewalls ;-)

That would simply require that when the menu displays for the first
time, you echo the ^G character?
That menu is PHP, isn't it? So that should be simple enough....

burned .iso's later we arrive at 0.85 and finally pfsense installed
the first time without much of a problem. I wish to say congrats to
the development people and the people in this mailing list as i have
poured over the lists trying to get things to work. i'm very
impressed with how things are progressing and the level of support
someone can get here.
I wonder if i could make another small suggestion now, i remember
using various firewall/router distros in the past and most all of
them had a simple feature of beeping in some fashion to tell the user
that the machine is up and ready for traffic. i never realized how
much i liked that until i didn't have it with monowall. i was
wondering if something like this could be added to pfsense. I think
users with a completely headless machine would agree that this would
be helpful. and I know I would appreicate it very much, thank you :-)
