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. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
