The DUN and the "flashing light thingy" is part of Microsoft.
CompuServe wrote their own protocols and they didn't write one for the light
flashing thingy

I don't know. But as far as I remember, when I beta-tested CompuServe 2000
for the first time, most users says they don't need it, which is why they
removed it?
>> Why wouldn't Compu$serve want its subscribers to know their connection
speed?
Says who? How do you know?
