7. Disabling the audible bell

If you want to force the visible bell on your console you can replace the "bl" entry in termcap with the same string suggested for "vb" above. This approach can unload you from the task of customizing each application. I use this option on all the machines where I can run Linux.

Note that applications with hardwired bells in their source code won't be affected by this change.
