Gadi,
    Thanks for responding, but that entirely correct.  The server DOES 
have a sound card and sound works well at the server.  However, there is 
no sound of any kind on the terminals.  When I login at a terminal using 
KDE the error message is "device /dev/dsp can't be opened (permission 
denied)."  Does that give anyone more to work with?
