How do I mute my modem
 

I'm running Debian Sarge 3.1 and use an external modem to access the web. I have setup dialup using pppconfig since the KPPP wizard is confusing with the script deal. How can I mute my modem as the noise is annoying.

As far as I remember (I have switch to gnome) kppp have a hardware tab where you can config the volume of your modem, just take a look around, press some buttion and you will see it.

Well, I tried the KPPP config wizard and couldn't get it to work, that's why I am using pppconfig instead, which doesn't seem to have a capability of muting the modem.

This should mute the speaker:

AT&M0

KC,
I'm a noob, so where do I place AT&M0??

Place it in the "Modem Init String" Probably under advanced settings or modem settings, not sure, don't use that app...

If you have no init string in pppconfig then you could send it directly to the modem:

echo AT&M0 > /dev/ttyS0 <----for com1

/dev/ttyS1 <----for com2 etc...
