Look for the "Dial-up String", this is a command to the modem telling it
how to set itself up when dialing (or receiving).  It will be something
like AT_something-or-other_DT for a touch-tone line.  If the
_something-or-other_ is M0 (zero), the speaker is OFF.
                        M1 the speaker is ON until carrier is detected
                        M2 the speaker is always ON
                        M3 the speaker is ON after last digit dialed,
                           OFF at carrier detect
                        L0 (zero) Speaker volume control low
                        L1 to 7 Speaker volume control louder to loudest
(from the Basic "AT" Command Set).
