Some of us can tell the difference between various types of Data/FAX modems
by listening to them. Most of us can tell the difference between "BUSY",
the "Doo! Dah! Dee! We're Sorry" signal, and a human answering the call
threatening to call the police if we don't stop harassing them.

That's why it's a good idea to have the modem speaker turned on, at least
until you know that the programmed-in phone number is correct.
