Well Whatever the above solutions are, they are correct.

But I would like to give you one more solution may work for you.

If you are using windows XP then just visit the windows Update website and then go to the hardware link there on the left and then allow it to search for any hardware update. By default if you are using a Dial-up modem from COXINNAT then there will be an update for it called PCI MODEM, download it and install (Windows XP will download and install automatically if you allow it to download)

Once it is installed you will have to restart your PC, Now your STEREO SPEAKERS (from the one which gives music) will be treated as the modem speaker while you are dialing.

Which means that now during dialing your PC Speakers will make the noise, since you do not want the noise, just turn the knob of the Speakers to OFF position and u are done ,or you can also turn it to the minimum level.

Try it out.

All you need a soldering Iron and screw driver then first take out the modem PCI card and desolder the round speaker if nothing else works :idea: :)

huh?? How can someone be called lol?
I started writing the reply at the same time as you andhence the confusion. Moreover your solution is pretty driver dependent and vary from one manufatcurer to the other. The method I mentioned can also be accesed from the Modem settings under Device Manage but one can get lost there so I said a shorter method.

I am not adept in going at a posting spree and clocking up 400 posts in 10 days 90% of which will consist of useless suggestions like"Yeah you should go for the NIIT course" and providing weird solutions riddled with bizzare spellings. If you havent forgot, he even got warned for it once.

I even clarified the cause for the confusion. It seems he just cant keep his mind in place when he sits down in front of the comp.

i am using win xp home edition
i want that when any phone call comes

OK, here is the soln. I assume you have call waiting enabled on your line. Go to Control Panel>Phone and Modem options>Modems tab>Properties>Advanced tab>Extra Initialization Commands. Enter this line there

ATm2

The modem speakers will always be on. Hiss will indicate data transfer and beeps will alert you of incoming calls. With thi settings, your connection will be disconnected in case of an incoming call.

If you dont have call waiting enabled, I think you won't get disconnected.

Engage yourself in a call and then dial ur number from ur own cell phone. If you hear beeps, then it is enabled. From my BSNL phone, I have to activate it by dialling 114.
