   on my ubuntu box i did the following to test with...   
      
   sudo modprobe pcspkr   
   sudo apt-get install beep   
      
   to keep it permanent, edit "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and comment out   
   the "blacklist pcspkr" line toward the bottom of the file... then it will be   
   added at boot...   
      
   i have converted the page files i mentioned above... i'm going to try another   
   conversion format, too... that and i need to see if i can locate the source   
   for beep2 and see if it will work... if it does, it will provide a better way   
   of scripting than what i'm currently using with beep... but it works! close   
   encounters, sweet child o mine, blueberry hill... i wrote a script to convert   
   the whole lot otherwise it would have been much too tedious...
