   There is definately another bug in the beepinit stuff since I find that
if many beeps come too fast together, the system can freeze. This system
will be frozen so that not even the interrupt button (with TMON installed)
will recover, a reboot is required. Users can easily reproduce this by 
bringing up the control panel and merely pressing on the volume control
slide bar a few times in quick succession. While this doesn't affect most
programs since few generate beeps rapidly, terminal emulation does run
into problems since hosts can generate lots of beeps.
