- What do you mean by "hearing"? Do you want to just hear the connection
- protocol tones (until the modems connect) or do you want to hear the
- modem tones ALL THE TIME? I think the 1st option is best (the 2nd will
- drive you up the walls!).

- Most modems today have a small piezo speaker that let's you hear
- "what's going on" on the phone line until the modem connects.
- So here is a CHEAP and simple solution: Go to any stereo store in your
- area and get a pair of small in-ear headphones (you could get a small
- laper mic but thats more expensive. These earphones should cost about
- 2$). plug them into your SB16 MIC input. Please note that the MIC
- input is MONO while the phones are STEREO, but that doesn't matter.
- Crank the MIC input sensitivity up, and click on both earphones. One
- of them should create a loud click. Take of it's sponge cover, Glue it
- with something (hot melt glue, contact cement, what have you) to that
- peizo speaker on your modem (I hope it's internal...) and that's it!
- You'll hear every beep that speaker makes!

- Forget about thos bigshot solutions. Why use a CANON BALL when a
- marble will suffice?...:-)
-
- Good luck and tell me if that helped.
