Well, it *seems* that I cannot get a bell to sound on any of the systems I can get my hands on today. 2 XS (F7, based) desktop machines, 3 different laptops (running F9, Hardy), no bell on ambiguous autocompletion, no audible response to echo -en '\007' on any tty. Nothing obvious in termcap/terminfo (I'm not too handy with those but no 'vb' that I can see). Hmmm. pcspkr.ko is loaded in all of them. And the web is full of advise on how to *disable* it, so I guess modern linuxen have disabled it en-masse, using some trick I can't spot right now. The obvious place is termcap/terminfo, but nothing there...
