 1. switch off console beep (internal pc speaker) in gnome-terminal
 (or alltogether). Or let gnome-terminal issue a sound to esd /
 /dev/dsp / whatever, so as to let one control volume.


xset b 0


Thanks!

 down to the computer, logs in and answers my 'talk' request).


echo ^G    (that's ctrl-v,g - i.e. hold control and then press v and g
            in succession)

this does not work over an SSH connection that has X forwarding AFAIK
if you xset b 0 locally.
This doesn't work even with X forwarding disabled. It just prints a silent '^G' to the screen. Normal Ctrl-g does beep on the client side only, of course.
