When I was using pppd, I also had a little script, which basically just did what the init.d script was doing, ie. something like:
/usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon --$action --verbose --exec /usr/sbin/pppd -- connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript$long" with $action being `start' or `stop'. I have been using diald for some time now, so I do not know if it still works. If all else fails, you could consider just doing an echo ATZ > /dev/modem in you script. That should really take care of things. ---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | Computer Science Department, University of Aarhus Office: R0.32 | Ny Munkegade, Building 540, DK-8000 Aarhus C Phone: +45 8942 3218 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.daimi.aau.dk/~lynbech ---------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michael A.
