Do you mean the tone or the "tail"?

The tone is a function of the software, although I am not versed enough to tell you how to control that.

If you mean the tail (the carrier that clicks back after an "over") then thats actually a part of your repeater, and not set in the app_rpt software, as far as I'm aware, as most repeaters I've used, connected to the internet or not, have had a tail of varying degrees (imagine a three minute tail - ikes!).

Its probably the best idea if you don't want any tail - which I'm not even sure if you could properly implement - that you use a tone to acknowledge the repeater has heard you. Otherwise, you'll never know if you're getting through. Of course, we use a short tone and tail to tell us we got in, and we can talk through our tail on the LOX board and Simoco repeater, however, another system I used, I wasn't able to talk through the (thankfully short) tail.

Hope this helps!
