You may have come here looking for Tk's bell command, which sounds an audible alert. This page is rather about BEEP, the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol.

BEEP permits simultaneous and independent exchanges within the context of a single application user-identity, supporting both textual and binary messages."]

["

• a standard application layer that supports dynamic, pluggable application "profiles" (protocols)
• peer-to-peer, client-server, or server-to-server capabilities
• multiple channels over a single authenticated session
• support for arbitrary MIME payloads, including XML"]
