Anyone know where I can find a snippet for a "pager"?

Not the pager as in page length, but the one that triggers your client's audio like a beeper?

Wouldn't that just be a matter of sending an ansi ctrl-G (ascii 07)?

Yes, Conner is right, that would work for e.g. telnet. But for other clients, it would depend on whether or not the client is set up to handle the bell signal.

Doesn't smaug send a beep sound with \a?

Not sure if i understand the question correctly. but cant you modify the beep command?

I think that \a is just the escape code for the beep that Conner described.

But yes, looking at SMAUG's beep command would be a good starting point.

Our coder figured it out. It triggers a "beep" in Windows. Not sure how he did it, so sorry for a poor follow-up.
