Does anyone know a good way to beep the speaker from a CGI script? 

I found the 'pseudo-device speaker' in /sys/i386/conf/LINT, which uses the
spkr.c driver to gain access through open("/dev/speaker", ...).

Are there any other ways to access the computer speaker directly?

I am not subscribed to this list so please send responses directly. 

Thank you.
