Thanks, but it wouldn't help me.  The system with the modem is not my 
workstation, so I'm only using it through ssh and I have a Logitech wireless 
keyboard (only way I could get a Logitech wireless mouse when I needed it in 
a hurry was to buy the mouse/keyboard set), which has no LEDs (and that's a 
pain sometimes!).

I'll remember it, though, since that could be quite helpful at times.
