turn off pcmcia modem speaker

Go into your kppp and slide the modem speaker voolume bar all the way to the left.

I'm sorrym but I don't use kppp because I use connection scripts.

Also, that's not what I asked for... I actually want to turn off the option that enables the card to use the speakers.

if your modem is V.34 or V.90 compliant you need to add
the following to your initialization string:

AT M0L0                  (note those are zeros)

if there is already an initialization string there you don't need the AT, just add the M0L0  to the end of the initialize string you have.

I could tell you exactly what file to edit if you'd be more specific about what program you are using to connect to the internet and what model/brand of modem you are using.

Yep that was what I was thinking but wasent sure so I didnt wanna say anything in case it caused problems

I'm using the standard pcmcia drivers that come with SuSE run thru the simple "cardctl" and "cardmgr" commands.

I'm not interested in altering the connection files - I'd rather turn off the speaker option altogether.

Thanks  a lot for that... you've made me happy ;)
