Hi,

I have an 8*16 with the MMC board. I can get it to connect over GPRS
but I am having trouble testing it as I cannot be sure that a wget,
for instance, is actually  using the GPRS rather than an attached
ethernet line (for ssh). I suppose I should use the serial link, but
for now I was trying to get teh ppp to start on boottime. 

I added the following script to the /etc/init.d/boottime/ directory
and changed it to executable (chmod +x) . Nothing happens with the MMC
LED's. 


#!/bin/sh


echo "starting" >> log.txt
setbits -p b -b 7 -s 1
echo "after first setbits" >> log.txt
sleep 2
echo "after sleep" >> log.txt
setbits -p b -b 7 -s 0
sleep 10
echo "after second setbits" >> log.txt
/etc/ppp/ppp-start
echo "after ppp start" >> log.txt
sleep 30
wget http://www.google.com
echo "after wget" >> log.txt

The script runs fine when I log in as root and run it from ssh. Is it
a permissions issue?

Thanks

Diarmuid
