CS = Clear to
send
It looks as if the modems flow control is kicking
in and the light is blinking off until it's ready to send again. I will have a
look at the smoothwalls init strings being passed to the modem and see if it's
passing some weird parms to it.
Thoughts still welcome.

Heres a weird problem,
I have a pentium 100 loaded with a smoothwall
firewall (http://www.smoothwall.org) it
has a smc8013 network card facing my internal network of 2 Dual-Booted M$/Linux
clients and 1Power MAC all connected together with a little 5 port 10 meg hub.
The interface pointing to my ISP is a 3COM 56K Message Modem.
The problem I am having is that whenever the MAC is
downloading the CS (Carrier sense) light blinks on and off constantly. The
blinking stops as soon as I stop the MAC from downloading. I thought that a
blinking CS light signified a bad line but the problem occurs when an internal
client is using the link.
My question is has anyone had strange symptoms like
this or do they know why. You thoughts are appreciated before I
RTM.
