I guess some others might only have the beep fed through their computer
soundcard also. Now either ctl-G or \\007, checking mail and the like
will beep after modprobe pcspkr is initialized.

I take it that the original poster found a resolution and now can use
system beeps? This was the main goal for the replys to the original
question posted.
