been working fine for the last 4-5 years :)

not that I've tried using the speaker or even plugging in a real pair of 
headphones.

I'm not suprised that there is a better way of doing this - but at the 
time I did it I was new to linux and had *way* too many other things to 
figure out.

Sometimes a little bodge goes a long way

but now the issue is raised I tried doing it properly and found that 
neither ATM0 nor ATL0 fixed the problem

but adding *both* does seem to work

# Begin /etc/ppp/chat-freeserve

ABORT "NO CARRIER"
#ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "ERROR"
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
ABORT "BUSY"
ABORT "Username/Password Incorrect"
#"" "ATF0"
"" "ATZ"
"" "ATL0"
"" "ATM0"
OK "at&d2&c1"
