I have a number of users here that are using x terminals, and they tell
my that the bell is driving them bonkers. Can a user disable the bell and
how? We are running emacs 18.55 on MIPS and Suns.
Thanks in advance

Can a user disable the bell and how? We are running emacs 18.55 on MIPS and Suns. The problem is that Emacs is increasing the bell volume, instead of using the user's choice. On my NCD-16 X terminal, I usually set the bell to 20% of the maximum volume, because it has a really loud beep. Emacs chooses to beep at 50% between this and the maximum, i.e., 60% of the maximum, or three times as loud as I want.
