Been awhile since I used a modem, haha! But there will be 2 places to turn off the speaker. One in the modem properties, and one in the dial up properties. To turn off the modem speaker do something like this: Start -\> Settings -\> Control Panel -\> Phone and Modems -\> Modems Tab -\> Pick your modem and click Properties. Somewhere in there is a slider to turn the volume down. I don’t actually have a modem installed in this PC to get you more specifics. If no one else chimes in by the end of the day I’ll get more precise description from a PC with a modem. ---

if it’s a volume controlled modem, you should be able to hit audio properties (double click speaker by the clock, then to go to options and properties and you may be able to check the modem box and get the volume slider for it… then you can turn it way down, just enough to hear so that you know if you have a phoen line problem or some shit (like a busy signal or someone talking on the line already)??? ---
