I have a Hayes 1200 bps modem, which usually makes a loud noise when
I dial, so I know when it is dialing, when the other end answers
etc.

Just now, it suddenly went quiet and I thought it was broken. It
made no sound at any time. However, it was still dialing and getting
through OK. When I switched it off and back on again, it started
making noises again.

I have no documentation for the Hayes command set. Is there a
command that tells the modem not to make dialing noises etc, as this
would be useful at night when the only way I have found of keeping
it from disturbing others is to cover the speaker with my hand.

Thanks
