Keep Modem Speaker Quiet
Tired of hearing all that racket as your modem connects to your ISP? Windows 98 includes a setting designed to silence your modem. (It doesn't work for all modems; you'll have to try it on yours and see.)

Open the Control Panel and double-click Modems. On the General tab, select your modem, click the Properties button, and move the lever under Speaker Volume all the way left, to Off. Click OK and then Close. From now on, that modem will connect in silence.
