Right click on the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.  In the pop-up
menu that appears, select "Add to panel->Internet->Modem Lights".  This
will put a little applet on the menu bar.

To move it around on the menu bar, right-click on the applet and select
"Move".  Slide the applet to where you want it, then left click it and
it'll stick where you put it.
