Is there some other way of setting modem behavior? You should find the following links helpful: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=164660 http://www.modem.com/glossary/extend2b.html http://neptune.lisa.univ-paris12.fr/Electronik/Hayes.htm http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/network/dialin/modem_codes.html Basically, you need to send the modem commands from the "Hayes command set" (aka the AT commands). To configure these in your modem control application (you mention kppp, I don't know how this is configured since I've never used it), you'll provide the relavent commands in the "modem initialization string" setting. I'd recommend not muting the modem entirely. If you do so, connection issues can be more difficult to troubleshoot. I'd recommend instead lowering the modem volume but allowing it to continue playing the dialing and connection sounds. -- Chris () ASCII Ribbon Campaign! /\ Say NO to HTML in Mail and News!
