Can I make the internal speaker beep when the network cable get unplugged?

[jamieh]

Hey,
I have a server running Ubuntu, and I was wondering if I could make it so the internal motherboard speaker gives a 3-second beep if the network connection is somehow interrupted, eg if the cable is unplugged or the router gets switched off.

Motherboard: ASUS A7A266.
Network card: D-Link 10/100/1000 card. Don't have exact model at hand.

Thanks

Scroll down to the part that says Configure ifplugd, I think it might be a good place to start and maybe even finish.
