change to beholder in 3.5?

I ran a few searchs, found out why Beholders aren't in the SRD, and
checked the erratta files, but I need to know this:

Can Beholders fire multiple eye rays in 3.5 like in 3.0? in 3.0 they
could fire all 10 with up to 3 per arc. There's no mention of multiple
eye rays in the 3.5 listing. The eratta simply says that the eye ray
attack is a free action.

This is important because we will be facing Beholders soon.

TIA

You can use multiple free actions in a round.
What's weird now is that they don't specify that each eye can only
be used once a round!
Also note that it looks like the beholder can use all of its eyes
during an attack action even though most roll to hit.
By implication the beholder can use all of its eyes while taking
just move actions!
Don't know if that last bit is intended, but it matches up
with quickened spells.
