What you want to do is add the AT code to your modem initialization to 
set the speaker volume to zero, or to only monitor the line when
dialing, not when communicating.  Try ATM0 or ATM1.

BTW see http://www.computercraft.com/docs/hayescom.shtml for a good
list of general AT modem commands and what they do.
