I normally do a command like:
wget -bc -i surf
to get the download and of sourse the surf file has to have the right
contents in it which are:
# file: surf
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
The surf file should be no more than 2 lines in length and if your email
wraps lines you'll have to join the line with the url on it and remove
all spaces.
The comment line was not in the original surf file and is here only as a
label for following contents.

This is a cd image not a dvd image. I'll send the image name in next

If I understand correctly, you're saying that the regular DVD does
beep, but the DVD with non-free firmware doesn't. Exactly which DVD
image did you download?
I'm asking because if one image is beeping and the other isn't,
you've found a bug and it should be reported. My understanding is
that all CD and DVD images from stable should beep, regardless of
whether they include non-free firmware. If you downloaded from
testing, there is no beep and that is expected. DDs who do multiple
installs with testing didn't want to be bothered by hearing a beep
potentially dozens of times, so it is disabled for testing and unstable.

It's possible to use these for accessible installs however the boot
procedure is a little different. The firmware disks do not beep at
the grub prompt. However if you hit s just as you hear the dvd
start spinning up and then hit enter, you will have speech over the
sound card shortly. The first time the disk just spun up so I
powered down and decided to try what I just wrote and it does work.
I was able to configure the wifi network with the disk I downloaded
so will be doing a reinstall of the laptop later today.
