For several different modems I have used I just do the following
I use the default initilization string  in my case "AT&FW2" and just add commands
to the number I'm dialing
e.g. if I wanted to dial 1800 555 555 I would use
"atm0dt1,800,555555"
at puts the modem into command mode
m0 = set the modem speaker to off
d = dial number
t = tone dialing
, = pause for 1 sec


I can use m1 , m2  or m3 for setting different speaker functions
m1 = Speaker enabled untill Remote carrier detected
m2 = Speaker is always enabled
m3 = Speaker is only enabled during handshaking

the L0 command only sets the speaker to low volume
and you should also have the L1 , L2 , L3 options
for medium low , medium and high volume respectively

these seem to be pretty standard AT commands so they may work on your USR Modem
