- By the way, Quicklink is NOT a driver, it's only communications
- software. Next, rather than changing the NVRAM, some people choose to
- add additional AT commands in the Extra Settings box. Changing NVRAM
- can be risky if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. The
- setting that needs to be added to the Extra Settings box to turn off
- the speaker is M0 (M-zero). The AT command set that is supported
- by this modem is very well documented in the manual that comes with
- the modem.

- Good luck...
