I don't know much about phones, so I thought I post a message to see
what I could find out.  Here's the scenerio: I've got an internal
modem without a speaker.  I'd like to know when the modem is using the
line without picking up the receiver to check (wouldn't want to do
that, would we?).  So, can anyone tell me how I can set it up so that
I have a light or LED on when the modem has the line (of course it
will be on when anyone's on line - I think)?  This way I can tell
exactly what is going on.  

I'd also like to know if there is anyway you could rig a setup so that
lights can be displayed for an internal modem in the same manner as an
external modem.  I like to be able to see whats going on.  Thanx in
advance.
