What modem Init string do I use to keep the speaker on ALL the time?

[MWink]

I just need the exact init string to keep my modem's speaker on all the time (when connected). What EXACTLY do I put in the "Extra Settings" field? I need to hear the "static" all the time because I think there are problems with the phone line. Thanks.

BTW, it is a Creative PCI 56K modem.

Not sure if one exists...

Might try making a long phone call from the line with a regular phone

ATM=1 i belive it is

ATM=0 makes it quiet

Er... trust me, you will NOT be able to hear anything. If you can't hear the static making a normal call from the same line, having the crappy modem speaker on will not help.

If you have a Rockwell/Conexant chip-set based modem

In Windows /Start/Settings/Control Panel/Modems/Properties/Connection/
Advanced/ and in the extra settings box type M0 (that's M zero) to turn
off the speaker or M1 (M one) to only have the speaker on during
negotiation.

M0 = Turn speaker off
M1 = Turn speaker on until carrier detected
M2 = Turn speaker on while off-hook (permanently on while on-line)
M3 = Turn speaker on until carrier detected, except while dialling

L0 or L1 = Low volume
L2 = medium volume
L3 = loud volume

I gotta know, too. You got a neighbor you're trying to annoy???

Dang. I hate the modem sound so much I use the M0 setting to keep it from even being on during the connect procedure.

bacillus: Thanks. M2 worked, though I'm sure I already tried it.

I'm doing it because I keep losing my connection and I want to hear what it is doing. I already heard it renegotiate once (make that twice) in the last 4 minutes. I think a storm about a month ago screwed up the phone lines (not my computer) because I have had problems constantly since then. I have tried different phone cords, surge protectors, and modems.
