BTW, for those of you whose curiosity is insatiable, this "/dev/bell"
is just a special file that refers to one of the machine's serial
ports - in this case, the serial port to which the keyboard is
connected.  The keyboard is connected to the "zs2" serial port, and
the mouse is connected to the "zs3" serial port.  The "/dev/ttya" and
"/dev/ttyb" ports are the "zs0" and "zs1" serial ports, respectively.
