[pfSense Support] beep on ready suggestion
I don't exactly remember which version i started out with but many 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 :-) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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?

There is traffic flowing into pfsense. Example a http request to the pfsense box comes in but does not go back.
