In the script provided by the Debian package (/etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch) I removed the modem_run options I put there earlier. Now it runs great with no options there.
It might be useful for somebody else to know as well, perhaps, so I figured I should post how the problem was solved after all. Bye, Irene Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
