There is a script:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0

You need to add:

 'OK' 'ATM0L0' 

After the line that reads:

'' 'ATZ'

So your file now looks like:

'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATM0L0'
'OK' 'ATDT'
'CONNECT'

the modem speaker is part of the "modem initalization string" and is in 
relation to the number right after the M or L, try a 0 if there is a number 
between 1 and 5 to turn off the speaker. higer numbers are louder, most only 
have 3 steps

[expert] how to shut off modem volume and other modem question

2002-06-18 Thread waxmop

Greetings - 

I use /sbin/ifup ppp0 to start my dialup connection, and I'd like to
figure out how to shut off the modem volume.

Also, I can only start the connection currently if I switch to root.  I'd
like to enable other users to stop and start the modem connection.

I configured everything during the install and didn't do anything unusual.

Any ideas?

TIA
