The beep you hear when pressing the keys means that the keyboard buffer
is full. In DOS2.x I seem to recall that the keyboard reset wouldn't
work in that condition. Just for grins, the next time it hangs try
pressing either cntl-Q (to allow output again), or cntl-C to try to get
things unstuck. ESC may also be helpful. Hope some of this helps.
