BEL stopped working on SCO Xenix

[The Beach Bum]

i have noticed an intermittent problem with my machine and the BELL character
recently.  the bell doesn't ring in vi, even with errorbells set, it doesn't
ring if I type a bell - BUT - it may ring if I cat a file with a BELL character
in it.  some bells seem to work and others don't ...

the speaker is Just Fine(tm), as determined by running a file through the
speaker device driver.  i am at a total loss as to what is going on here ...

- john.
