As has been stated already MO turns the speaker off and M1 turns it on.
Also L0 is low volume L1 and L2 and L3 each louder.

However, sometimes setting up the string in Control Panels / Modem does not
always remedy every situation.
 An example would be AOL which has their own proprietary modem setup which
takes over when you dial into AOL.
In this case to turn the modem off you would need to first start up AOL,
then go into AOL's modem setup and change the init string there.

Hope this helps
