associated to the server.

While

.B
.IP a
Enable/disable alarm blocking. When active, if the server transmits an alarm
character ('\\a'), the client ignores it, so the alarm does not play. This is
specially useful when many clients are present in the same room, to avoid
the annoying simultaneous beeps.
