A problem I get with the speedtouch USB modem is that it doesn't work if
it is plugged in at boot time.
I have to unplug it and then plug it in again for it to be recognised by
the hotplug daemon.
(Also the system freezes on shutdown unless I kill the pppd first,
though I suppose there's some shutdown script where I could do this
automatically).
Not a major hassle but anyone got round this?

Paul.
