Simple, but aggravating to fix.

I don’t need it. But for some reason. I can not hear it anymore. And that is the sounds of my phone line when I dial up my ISP now. I have checked every thing, <I think> and all the volume controls, the volume is up. And nothing is muted.

I miss that aggravating noise. <kinda>

This is just one of a several little things that seem to change on there own from time to time.

Ps. I really want to learn some of the technical workings of the computer, before our mental telepathy evolves enough that computers are obsolete.

grrrrr.:disgust:

Thank you.

Or actually, the opposite of them, as they are about disabling the sound. :D

Thanks Gary. it looks like i am going to have to go into the advanced and try it that way. but i use to be blonde, <smiles> so i understand that i have to type in the extra options, but,,,,,,, if i am to type in "AT L=O to lower the sound. L stands for "lower" i assume. L could stand for "level" , <omg> I'm an idiot i know, hell L could even stand for LOUD . <sorry> but just what the !*&#@ do i type to raise the volume.

I cant wait to hear it,, i have just a little over a week and they should have my cable service to my door.... ..... and i cant wait for some new problems.... lol

another dumb question, but i know with dial up that you have to be concerned with dialers. or redirect dialers. that send you to timbuck2 to another host. i know that i do not have to worry about my phone being charged by having someone redirect charges to my ph. when using cable, but do i still have to worry about being redirected from my cable ISP.. to some other host? what if you would do i have to worry about the most with having cable ISP service please?

Roxie, cable modems are silent. I think bAdWaYz is yankin' your chain. :D

And it's not AT L=O, it's AT L=0 with a ZERO at the end. L is for level (I believe) and the number should influence the volume level. Try 2 or 3? (Been a long time since dial-up for me).

I've never heard of anything like that, not in the form you're thinking anyways.

Cable modems don't actually dial a phone number as such, they just give the exchange equipment some extracommands for your line. No worries about hte dialler scams there.
