If you're running at least Solaris 7, have a look at the manpages for
speckeysd(1M) and speckeysd.map(4). Next, you need a simple C program
to alter the volume appropriately. If you have a SunSolve Online account,
you can take the example from the document FAQ ID#3016 (works for me
on our Ultra 5).

Since it's not accessible without a password I won't post the (trivial)
source here, but if you know a little C, it shouldn't be too difficult
to write your own "volumectl" with the help of audio(7I)...

cheers,
	Torsten
