1> Is there a way that I can make the REMOTE machine on an SSH connection beep? To attract the attention of the machines owner?
You will need write permissions on /dev/console ( and you will annoy anyone logged on at the console :))
(using bash) echo -e '\a' > /dev/console
\a is alert (BEL)
2> How do you issue console messages, from one tty session to another or One tty session to ALL
(Debian & Redhat) echo Hello | wall (Redhat) wall Hello
Hmm, wall seems to work in RedHat (and solaris from memory), and kind of Debian. I'm using kde on Debian so it works to xterms, but not konsoles (RedHat messes with some file permissions in their kde).
