Beso hello. I'm using suse 8, which i presume is pretty similar in terms of configuration
to get my speedtouch and connection activated at boot time i put the instructions in a file in the directory rc.d I then linked it to a file in /etc/rc5.d with a name that made sure it was exectued after network stuf got working. what this does is have the modem initiated when the system goes into run level 5 at boot time, its finall running level. So, the file in rc.d is called SpeedTouchADSL and the link is called S20SpeedTouchADSL the file contains instructions good for suse 8 (i know they are different for suse 9): # script for starting up speedtouch adsl modem and connecting to demon echo -n "connecting to demon via SpeedTouch ADSL" modem_run -f /etc/zzzl_3.012 sleep 10 pppd call adsl updetach but you might be able to try something similar for suse 9 the firewall is started independantly and shouldn't depend on the network connection i think hope this is useful ruth >I use the suse 9.3 with the 0.0 rev green modem.
