Summary: 3b1 bell emitting weird noises (modem carrier instead of beep)


I have had the same bugs with the bell on my 3b1.  Occasionally when
uucp is doing something in the background, the speaker will emit a
strange squwack instead of the customary "beep!".  The funny thing
is that the noise that comes out sounds suspiciously like 1200 bps
modem carrier!  Appararently there are a few bugs in the code that
sets the electronic switches that decide what to connect for the
source of sound emitted by the speaker!  (Or else, there are a some
hardware bugs.)
