"SHUT UP! *Kicks*"

How the hell do you turn off the volume for your modem?
I've gone into Modem properties etc, and put the little tab from On to Off. It still sings whe I connect.
I'm on XP if that helps.
I've done it many a time before, but it just won't shut up this time.
Danke.

Hi,

Your modem misdial? I seriously have never heard of that, maybe you should check to see if you have a virus?

I can assure you I don't.

I'm fairly certain that the mis-dials - rare as they are - are caused by the phone system and not the modem. In just the same way that you occasionally dial a number stored on a house phone and get through to someone you don't know on a wrong number.

It only takes a bit of noise on the line while dialling for a tone to be mis-interpreted.

Hi,

Wow, for that to happen is pretty much ultra rare, do you live in the country or something? maybe you should check the wiring in your house too, I remember that some of the phone lines in UK houses are alomst 40 years old now.

I live on an estate built in the early 70s, but I have recently-installed digital cable for TV, broadband and telephone services.

So I don't think age is an issue! :-) It's just one of those things that happens occasionally. No service is perfect all of the time.

Hi,

Yeah, but even so its pretty weird for itto happen these days. I have never had the problem, but then again the sun shines where ever I walk lol.
