For tone > dial, I use "ATDT8191055" if you used "atm0dtnnnnnn" for tone dial, it would also silence the speaker, if it supports the "enhanced" basic AT commands. "atl0 as a prefix also should work, although on some modems, level 0 (l0) is the softest volume, but not off, becuase [speaker] mode 0 (m0) is off. FWIW, according to the "extended" hayes at command set, which most modems support: l sets the speaker level where is a number from 0 to 5, with 0 being the softest (usually off) and 5 being the loudest. m sets the speaker mode where 0 off 1 (unsure; on until answer?) 2 on until connect (most modems default to this) 3 always on These aren't part of the "basic" or "standard" command set (which virtually all modems today support) because the original modems were big external monsters with volume controls on the side, so you could turn the speaker off by hand. Also, some modems may require you to enable the extended commands with an "atv4" command. This is *supposed* to set the "verbose" level and error messages, but some modems use it to disable the extended comands. (USRs like to do this). the only downside is that v4 mode disables "blind" dialing. which is necessary if you have voice messaging from the phone company with that "stuttered" dialtone...most modems fail to recognize that as a dialtone. And now that you have more information than you ever wanted to know about the at commands...I'll shut up. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
