Besides muting my speaker icon, is there a way to get rid of that annoying noise when I'm connecting using a dialup modem?

Just wondering.

Why use dial up modems, DSL & Cable are having some great deals.
ATT/SBC has a deal for $14.99 right now.

Hi nopeeking,

As much as you might hate the noise of the modem when it dials up, the sound at least tells you it is working. So, waddayagonna do when your modem craps out and you can't tell when it happens just because you turned off the sound.

My advice is to keep the volume low, enough so you can just hear that it is working and not as loud and annoying as it was previously.
