Hi Guys:
Is it possible to include in a future release, the option to send a sound (wav, or otherwise) to get the users attention? Even a PC speaker beep would be fine.
I just had to sit and wait for a user to respond to my chat session. I finally had to call her and ask for her help.... because she was eating her lunch and not looking at her monitor.
Thanks,
Glenn

Beep tone to get users attention
You might try opening cmd.exe and type in:
echo [ctrl-g]
Where [ctrl-g] is the control key together with a g. The result will be:
C:\>echo ^G
If you press enter, the remote machine should beep.
To really catch someone's attention, use a few ^G's like:
C:\>echo ^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G^G
It's just a workaround, and I haven't tried it myself yet, but I think it'll work.
