communications (Or "visual bell") A program option (whether
in a terminal program, termcap setting, or as a
stand-alone program) which outputs the bell charactercode as a visual signal (e.g., a flashing status bar or menu
bar).
Generally intended for deaf or hearing-disabled users who
couldn't hear the normal auditory beep; also widely used by
users who simply don't want their machines feeping at them
or disturbing other users.
