    You should be able to just send the bell character (0x07)

    I think Mystic |BE says that code, but its up to the terminal to actually
    beep and I think most don't.

    Yeah you can't force a terminal to beep if it's configured not to. A lot of them just flash instead.

    how would this work in mpl via function?

    I assume you can just send an ANSI escape code + 007 with a write call, or g00r00 mentioned |BL should make Mystic do the same thing.

    oh, your referring to the BE mci code but that does not work and thats on the bbs side not remote but thanks i need to figure this out. going to do some pascal reading. see sneaky ways to do this.

    I just double checked and |BE sends the beep character.

    Whoops. Yes, BE and not BL. As long as you can send a bell character to the client their terminal should react to it. Bear in mind though that a lot of terminals may not be set up to actually beep audibly and might just flash the screen/titlebar or do nothing.
