Folks

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like:

	. the RFB protocol defines a Bell message type

	. the vncviewer for Win 95/98/NT/2000 if it receives a
	  Bell message will, if the local PC has a bell, ring it

	. winvnc 3.3.3 has no provision for converting a control-G (bel)
	  output by an application on the PC running winvnc
	  into a RFB Bell message and sending it to the client.

I've only just 'discovered' VNC.  It's just what I need except that I must
have
the ability of hearing the bell of the remote system on the local system.

Before I look at trying to modify the source of winvnc to implement the
RFB Bell message, I thought it worth asking whether anyone has already
done this.  If so, I'd be really grateful if you could send me the details.

Cheers,
    Peter
