sorry. i have too much faith in ESP i guess. this is the script that is supposed to run: #!/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/caau1 modem crtscts 115200 lock asyncmap 0 defaultroute debug passive persist It's supposed to bring up the PPP interface, but it doesn't. but running the script manually (not the command itself) does. There is no references in /var/spooll/messages that the script was even attempted at bootup.
