Just tried it on my laptops, nothing on both. The Thinkpad one does have
a beeper (or at least emulates one) as it sometimes beeps when I bring
the boot device menu in BIOS. Haven't had a proper desktop PC in years,
maybe more chances for it to work there.

"beep" is supposed to make the PC speaker beep... but I can't make

/dev/tty0.
I'm trying to see if this works *at all* for *anyone*. The code is
25 or more years old, so it may just be that it's not compatible with
modern kernels...
Any volunteers want to try it?
