Ok I am no phone expert but I would guess that the flash signal comes from
La Plus Belle thru something else than the 2 middle wires on your RJ11
connector. Now any modem passes all wires over anyway to the phone socket
on the modem, so if you would leave a phone that has such a flash light open,
assuming you have the extra warning service, you would SEE it on your phone.
You also would probably hear for free the lovely chat between your modem and
its remote mate. This is also certainly true if you connect a phone in
parallel with the modem: after you are conncted, lift the phone and watch
the flash...And if it works, tell me that I guessed right: such service does
not exist yet on my exchange, so that I can't try it.
