Re: [pfSense Support] beep on ready suggestion
LOL, thanks bill. however, i'm about as dumb as a brick when it comes to bsd. i was just hoping that a particular start/stop sequence could be added to the pfsense .iso. i'd be happy to help accomplish this if someone would point me in the direction or add it and allow me to test it. also, i realize that there might be some people who don't like it, i would think there needed to be a simple way to disable it if desired. thank you very much again for your interest in my idea.

Perhaps using the tone generator, you could do something based upon the major triad Like airport chimes :P Or run up the harmonic series, like at the beginning of those old tapes...
