Thanks for the tip, Jan. I'll dig around in the udev rules and see what I can do about running a small script for the add section. I don't think I need anything special for the remove section. I experimented by pulling out the surf stick without first ending wvdial. The pppd dies, wvdial tries a redial, complains that the ttyUSB2 device is missing and gracefully exits. I don't think that I need to take down the firewall after removing the surf stick. Correct me if I am wrong.
