this is a stupid question, i know, but....
I was previously using a 5150 and using telix to connect to the net.
Now i have a 486 and i use comit for windows.  The question is- on
my old computer whenever i got a talk or chat request, my computer would 
beep.  Now it doesn't.  Does anyone nkow how I can get it to beep when
i get a request like that?  I'm not right at my computer a lot and I'd lik
some kind of audio signal to let me know.

If anyone can help, thanks ahead of time :)

You might want to check the documentation and settings for your terminal
program.  Sometimes that audio 'beep' is printed as a character.
You'd probably want to see if your term had a setting for viual or audio 'bell'
or control - G.  Other than that, is your speaker working ok with other
software?

my speakers work fine- i can listen to my audio jukebox and all that.  it
just seems that while I'm in my comm program, all the sound is disabled :(
I can't see any easy way to set it (not on any of the pulldown menus anyways)
and I'm not sure i can enter commands in manually.

I'm going to check my sound programs and see if i can figure anything out.

Can you type a   ctrl-g   and get a local beep? If so, it's working
locally, but not from Grex. If not, it's totally turned off (which
is the more reasonable circumstance) and you willhave to find
the switch in comit - or you can go back to telix.
