My DSL modem activity light shows some constant activity. It just started
doing this.

It will flash constantly until I force a disconnect and then a short time
later it will re-connect all by itself without the dialog box asking for
password etc..

All of the "automatic updates" have long ago finished. My hard drive light
also keeps flashing.

I would like to know "who" or "what" is using the line in real time. I have
Norton Internet Security and it only shows when and what program on my
computer is accessing the Internet. It has a fire-wall and blocks certain
attempts to access my computer. I run SpyBot regularly to get rid of spyware
and adware.

Does anyone know of a program that displays the who, why, what, and where,
use of my comm line?

I assume you have an updated virus checker running.
