"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?
The beep-1.4.12-x86_64-2_SBo works for me on Slackware64-current with
Linux kernel 7.0.14. It works on my current PC and worked on the
computer I gave you as long as I did the following.
# /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local
/sbin/modprobe pcspkr# PC speaker
