I'm using wvdial, largely because it is by far the most dependable on this box. What I need, if possible, is a way to start up the connection on boot. I've tried it in boot.local but the screen output states that /dev/ttyUSB0 is not available at that point. I've been unable to find anything in messages that gives me a clue.
No, boot.local will not work because rchotplug has not run yet, and other things, like the firewall. In fact, nothing is up yet. Read "man init.d", and "The SuSE boot concept" chapter in the SuSE admin book. Then, use "/etc/init.d/skeleton" as an skeleton to build your own "rcwvdial" to run automatically - after installing it with "chkconfig rcwvdial on". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
