Thank you to everyone who responded. The responses I have received have
either been along the lines of Terry's (above), or have been suggestions to
toggle a status line from an RS-232 port and run it to an amplifier.

I would really like a card to do this though. The normal magazines like PC
Magazine and Byte do not seem to carry adds for this kind of thing. Are
there catalogs out there, along the lines of Nuts & Volts, that promote the
odds and ends of computing hardware? Please e-mail your responses to me,
and I will post a summary to the net.

Also, I am now becoming interested in *any* card that is capable of
generating sound. Where is this kind of stuff advertised?
