[ih] Hello, Internet History group

[John Chew]

I remember submitting a patch to NCSA Telnet (I don't think it was ever
accepted) that we used extensively where I was working in 1989 at
AIS/Berger-Levrault in France. It added an ANSI escape sequence that took
as a string argument the name of a sound to play, so that our Unix server
could send different audible alerts to our Macs.
