You keep the speaker on until it connects and listen to them.

You can listen to them negotiate settings between the two, and tell if
they are going to connect or an ATZ is in order.

Running a 6 line BBS I kept the speakers on - loved to hear a connect.

I don't know the tones after 14.4 - dropped the BBS at that before the
higher speeds.

You can always set ATS10=200 that will keep you connected :) even if
the other modem drops carrier.
