I have an oddity which might be related - I have to unplug my modem at startup; then I have to watch the startup messages, and plug my modem inti the USB port after the "Initialising hardware ..." message, but before the "Checking for new hardware ..." message. My bootup messages still say something like "Block write failed for USB_DEVFS" or something of that sort, but my modem is picked up by the USB interface and the script connects me correctly. With me I think I have problems with the USB bridge and querying hardware on it, if I don't "jerk" the usb hotplugging into life by plugging in the modem after it has woken up then the light remains flashing red and the script cannot find a speedtouch modem. Hope this is of some use regards emyr
