If that were true, every time you hit a bell online to another computer (or a bell was sent back) you would get line noise?! True, the distorted buzz has to do with uucico not handling fixing the speaker, and the noise you hear is 1200 baud noise + bell noise, at least that is what I believe?! -Lenny -- ============================ US MAIL: Lenny Tropiano, ICUS Computer Group IIIII CCC U U SSSS PO Box 1 I C C U U S Islip Terrace, New York 11752 I C U U SSS PHONE: (516) 968-8576 [H] (516) 582-5525 [W] I C C U U S AT&T MAIL: ...attmail!icus!lenny TELEX: 154232428 IIIII CCC UUU SSSS UUCP: ============================ ...{uunet!godfre, mtune!quincy}!\ ...{ihnp4, boulder, harvard!talcott, skeeve, ptsfa}! >icus!lenny "Usenet the final frontier" ...{cmcl2!phri, hoptoad}!dasys1!/
