I am convinced that the BEEP that my PC emits has become
toooooooo lonnnnnnnnnnnggggggg since I installed a Paradise
Basic VGA card in it.  Seems strange , but I can rationalize that
the VGA BIOS on the card might be responsible for handling
a control-G beep under DOS screen I/O.  Can anyone out there
confirm or refute this?

The PC is an AST 386 Model 340, and the program I notice it
in most is MKS vi, since I have gotten into the habit of 
hitting redundant escapes, and using the beep to confirm that
I am not in insert mode.

I mean, this beep has got to be at least 2 seconds...

Thanks!

- Jay
