Yes, I deleted all 3 init scripts. As far as I can see everything seems to
work fine since then.

Maybe I understood something wrong, but during ip-up the SuSEfirewall is
called and installed properly. If I do a 'status' I can see that it is up.
After logout from the dial-up the FW is down again.

I don't really see the point of these 3 init scripts, since only level 1
of 3 works without failure. I think this is connected with the fact that
there is still no connection to the internet during the boot process
(which is my intention, of course, since I want do that only when
needed).

So maybe I have missed something here, but as far as I can see the ip-up
script takes care of everything alone...
