Sorry for the late reply! The regular bell character starts to beep, stops beeping after a short time, and then lets me continue. The freecom beep starts to beep, beeps forever (I presume, I haven't tested it that long) and doesn't let me do anything else. I was able to fix my copy via the hex editor. Maybe I will try to compile from source, so I can update beep(). I am a little afraid of "fixing" it in the source code, because I am not sure y'all would like my "fix".
