how do i eliminate the "logging in" noise of my modem? it wake up the children at night.

Magic Modem Tape.

Just a small piece of tape over the modem speaker should quiet it down enough.Please be sure to ground yourself correctly when going inside a case.

They say to eat before you go to the grocery store so you don't buy so much. That doesn't work at the liquor store does it!

Take the speaker of the modem but this will void any warranties. On some modems you will have yo use a soldering iron but on some others there is a wire you can undo and put back.

Sometimes but it is very rare there is a jumper on the modem that you can take off since it works like any ordinary speaker.

I would be careful before you do any of the above suggestions since they can damage the modem if not done carefully.

Have you tried contacting the makers of the modem?
and check any booklets or online support files that talk about your specific modem and look for diagrams because most modems have jumpers but dont have to do with what i mentioned previosly but with the com ports.

I hope this helps.

ummm..... tape??......open the case??

lol.. all you do is this: Open DUN (Dial Up Networking) folder, RIGHT click on your connection. LEFT click on PROPERTIES, in the General TAB- click "Configure"- bottom right in modem section. With your mouse move the slide bar in "Speaker Volume" to OFF.

Good call, sea. I was having a pretty good chuckle myself. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif If anyone ever wants to almost guarantee trashing a modem or any other add-on card, be sure http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif and take a soldering iron to it. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif

I have used the tape method to quiet down the piezo-electric "speakers" on modems. The modem properties setting sometimes has no effect, or the volume level cannot be set to a satisfactory level. Modem init string commands are sometimes ineffective too. The piezo types are often a small black cylinder with a hole on top. I would not try tape on a cone type speaker.
