TeleFinder/User is capable of playing sounds when specific events occur. You can add sounds that play at Login, Hang up, and other times. TeleFinder/User plays sounds from 'snd ' resources. This is the same type of resource that the Macintosh System uses for the "Alert Sound." It is also the same type of resource the Macintosh records with its built-in microphone.
