There are two that I know of. 
1. NANSI.SYS - This driver gives a shorter beep and faster operation. It is
   small and is compatible with all software that I know of. It is either
   shareware or in the public domain, I'm not sure. It also "snows" on more
   primitve CGA cards.
2. FANSI-CONSOLE - This driver allows larger input buffer, faster operation,
   variable beep length and keyboard redefinition. Sounds great but
   it takes about 40K of memory and is incompatible with a lot of software.
   FANSI-CONSOLE is loaded with features. You have to pay for the user 
   manual though, the fee is about $70.00. The shareware version is
   supplied with an abbreviated users manual.

In light of this, I'm currently using NANSI.SYS. Both can probably be found
on your local BBS.
