And a brilliant shot in the dark it was!  I ran across, somewhere on the
web, the "alsamixer" command and even ran it (that's my kind of app -
colors and shapes in a console).  I saw "PCSpeaker" there, and even turned
up the volume, but that didn't get me any console beep.  Well, I just had
a look at it again after reading your post.  This time, I noted that
certain of the items listed there had an "off" flag by them - among these
the PCSpeaker.  I toggled that flag and - voila! - system speaker!  So, it
woiks, it woiks!  I just would never have guessed that alsa was something
that governs the PC's speaker - I thought that was a separate "low level"  
(however that parses out in my benighted understanding of these things)  
item.  Can anyone help clarify this for me?  Anyway, thanks to all for 
input on this - it's now fixed (provided the settings I did stick).

Thanks, James
