I'm very pleased with Speakup on my 23 other consoles, with screen running as well in about 9/10 of those . But, to answer your question directly, no, I do not have a bell in terminal. So, I guess I have two casualties from not running pulse. I do wish I had the earcons, but I can frankly live wwithout them and without the GUI terminal.
