Dear Knights of Ilug; 1. I have a Reliance USB modem, works well; erratic though as I dont know how to start and stop it, an extract of the log file for your info please:

Sorry a bit long but thought I better reproduce the relevant parts. As evident from above usb device is started by root on boot on /dev/ttyUSB0; aunthicated by pppd and connection established. However I am unable to start and stop it, even as root. How does one do that.
