Why don't you let the hotplug script connect in background ? It will connect if your connection is set to start on boot (ONBOOT=yes in your ifcfg-ppp0 file). I suppose your modem isn't yet synchronized when your init script is runned. And since hotplug has already started modem_run in background, your modem_run call will return immediately. By the way, the speedtouch package we provided in Mandrake 10.1 Community was broken. I've fixed it for 10.1 Official, you can get it here : http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~blino/speedtouch-1.3-8mdk.i586.rpm Regards -- Olivier Blin Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
