So I dont think it is necessarily the hardware. A solution? I once saw a program (sorry, I cant remember the name) that blinked the leds on/off in patterns, this program worked fine and didnt need hardware prompting. I'd assume that more than one such program exists.. at any rate, running such a program when an incoming message is detected should be trivial. Michael J.
