[Slackbuilds-users] misc/beep work for anyone?

"beep" is supposed to make the PC speaker beep... but I can't make
it work on either of the boxes I tested it on. When run as root, it
doesn't give any error, and strace shows it doing iotcl() calls on
/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?
