Actually, I would like to activate that motherboard beeper too. I wrote a program years ago, before I had any sound card on my MS-Dos PC to generate something on it. You could vary the frequency (tone) and length of beep and that just suited an experiment I was doing. I don't know how to do that from a current machine running any UNIX varient (CentOS, FreeBSD, etc) That information may be out there, but I haven't tried lately to dig it up. If you know or have some pointers, it could be helpful.
