hi all, i posted about this problem late last night but here's a clearer daytime description:
compiled and installed ftp://ftp.smlink.com/linux/unsupported/slmodem-2.9.6.tar.gz without a problem. modem works fine when i (as root) use the debian script included with slmodem-2.9.6.tar.gz or when i start the daemon manually with "slmodemd /dev/slamr0". i would like to run the script automatically at boot-time. i added the script to init.d (via this method http://www.desktop-linux.net/debian-rclocal.htm) but the modem won't respond to a kppp query after bootup. the daemon *is* loaded though, and interestingly, if i open a console window the modem will respond to a kppp query but the open console window displays the output, not the kppp dialog. huh? why would the daemon want to output to a console window if it was loaded via init.d but not when it's loaded manually after bootup? anyway, i've read init.d docs and the script and various other docs but am a bit befuddled. if i can provide any more info that would be helpful please let me know. lastly, folks in #debian recommended that i post here, but if there is a better place for my inquiry please tell me. i've already inquired on the linmodem mailing list. thanks, david -- d_a_v_i_d_b_at_p_a_n_i_x_dot_c_o_m -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
