Synchronet supports RIP, and I think Searchlight was one of the other BBS
programs that had early support for RIP too.  As far as sound/music, I haven't
seen any official standard for that in a BBS package or terminal (though I
think there is an ANSI or ASCII code to make the PC speaker beep).  I've heard
of some specialized BBS door clients that add graphics and/or sound, such as
with Operation Overkill II (sound) and Land of Devastation (which adds EGA/VGA
graphics on the client and perhaps sound too).
