Yep, that MIGHT be a solution, in fact my rc.local does lots of things, but Debian, for example, calls modem_run when activating hotplug and then calls pppd when activating network. I mean:
· I turn on the computer · The kernel is loaded · Modem starts loading · blah blah · GNOME is up and running and meanwhile the modem has finished syncing. rc.local is the last script to be called so I would however have to wait some time, while windows, i.e., brings the adsl link up while booting, parallelely.
