" I can't shut off the volume on PCI 56kB modem. I've already tried going into
Control Panel, double clicking on Modems, selecting Properties and moving the
Speaker Volume to Off. I'm still getting volume!! One of my friends suggested going
into DOS. Any suggestions?"

Although PW already answered this one, give this a try if it doesn't work for you:


Open My Computer
Open Dial Up Networking
Right-click on the connection icon that you wish to turn the modem sound off and select properties.
Click on Configure for the modem at the bottom of the dialog box
Select the Connection tab
Select the Advanced button in the bottom right corner
In the Extra Settings box, type in M0 (That's a zero, not a capital o).
Click OK and then attempt to dial in.

"Is there any difference in speed if I install the 56kB modem on an ISA slot
instead of on a PCI slot?"

Speed difference? No. There are a few things to consider though.

1) Although it may seem obvious, you can interchange cards between different type of slots (believe me, I've seen people who have tried).
2) The quality of the modem does come into play. Some really cheap 56k modems using the same protocols, might not function as well as the more expensive 'well-rated' modems.
3) PCI modems use different system resources in comparison to ISA modems. Some PCI modems will not function in some DOS applications. Same thing applies to certain online banking software.

Hope this helps,

Rich
