USB Keyboard - no bell

[Greg Jones]

After getting an USB keyboard, I noticed no beep when hitting the escape 
key in Vi.  Plugged in the PS/2 keyboard and I get the beep back!

After doing some googling, it appears that USB keyboards may not support 
ascii 0x07 (bel).

Is this covered in the Man pages or is there any way to work around this?

Regards,

Greg
