I was always curious why GCIOs didn't have some dry contacts for driving
horns/lights, since putting the signaling devices near the operator
consoles is the most common scenario. Of course, with a soldering iron, a
scope, and some Rat Shack parts, you could probably do a little hardware
hacking on the GCIO and rig this up :)

Subject: Re: [foxboro] Unique Alarm Sounds
Using a COUT tied to the horn.cfg file sounds like a great idea, only
one problem, my CP's/FBM's are 1000+ feet away. I do have a 1X8 in the
control room where a CP could go but would be costly to purchase a
dedicated CP for only a couple of FBM channels tied to horns.=20
