Sorry, it wasn't that easy. ATM0 would just silence the speaker. What you want is: +++ATH0 Wouldn't work on properly implemented modems, as the standard required a quarter (or possibly half) a second pause between the +++ escape, and the hayes command. Now, you sending this to IRC wouldn't do much at all. What you would want to do was rather take a look at their IP address, and use the "ping -p" command, as that allows you to specify up to 16 bytes padding that will be echoed back. You would then encode +++ATH0 as the pattern, which would be sent back from them to you .. and if it was a silly modem, it would hang up.
