Correction :- speedtouch.sh does have to be run. It is run by the file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up   which contains
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/route del default
/usr/share/speedtouch/speedtouch.sh start


and net_cnx_down  contains
#!/bin/bash
/usr/share/speedtouch/speedtouch.sh stop

The speedtouch will be initialised when the 'Internet' service starts.
