Hrm.   Good point.  I didn't honestly know you could echo items to
/dev/speaker to have it play sounds.   Currently we are using beep
from the FreeBSD ports tree with a small wrapper script that plays
tones going up (machine is up) or tones going down (machine is on its
way down).

Thanks to Seth Mos for putting together the script.
