Hmm, you wouldn't happen to have installed the new VLT with your old .init
file by any chance ? What has happened is that VLT now uses a different way
of executing scripts. In my case, I got the same message everytime the terminal
tried to beep at me. The problem was that the bell command was set as

~srx "address 'Pingserver' beep"

~ meant to execute something, s indicated a script, rx is the Arexx command.
The new version of VLt requires the above command to be changed to 

~rx "address 'Pingserver' beep"

and the problem went away. Try it and see ! (I don't know if there is any
connection with modem line noise....sorry)

[I take it you know how to change the bell command ? if not, mail me]
