Hey, guys.
I get confused pretty easily, so my apologies if I am totally in the wrong area with this question...
I am using Dingo 4.00 with an old '98 Gateway Essential deskop. I only have access to dial-up internet and use the Gateway's default internal modem. The problem is that the horrid squelching noises from the modem are coming from the internal speaker - even when I have external speakers hooked up and headphones plugged in. Is there anyway to disable the internal speaker so that I don't have to hear that squelching?
I checked in the volume control, but it's all Greek to me
How to disable the internal speaker?
I'm not quite sure where puppy keeps its registry

Have a look in /etc/wvdial.conf
The first key, when set to one, instructs wvdial to manipulate the
modem volume settings per later commands. The second key is just
one of the commands sent to the modem before dialing (I think any
"Init{whole #}" is a permissable key). The volume commands are
(from "http://www.option.com/support/hayesat.htm"):
M0 Speaker always off
M1 Speaker on until carrier detected
M2 Speaker always on
M3 Speaker on only while answering
