Modem speaker



I got my hands on a second hand laptop recently and played with if for a few 
hours in the condition that I got it (windows).  I distinctly remember 
connecting it to the internet via dial-up to get some linmodem drivers and 
the modem handshake was audiable. I used the Compaq restore cds to rebuild 
doze (because 1: it might be needed for some reason 2: what was there was big 
and I didnt have admin access). 
After Debian was installed, kernel rebuilt and modem drivers compiled I 
connected with a dial-up again. Only this time the handshake could not be 
heard - neither in doze or Linux. Ive played around with everything I can 
think of but the only thing I can think of is that the restore cds changes 
something in the hardware. 
Is there something that I dont know about? Has anyone else had a similar 
problem? Anybody have any ideas as to how to fix it? I know its trivial but 
its starting to annoy me...
