Dear users of Fedora Core 3 and discuss at linmodems.org,
I still have not figured out how to make Fedora
load drives upon boot time with udev and other hacks
attempted. In the /etc/init.d/ folder slmodemd is in
there and all appropriate links are made. slamr is
running in the background, yet when I start kppp modem
is not recognized.

[root at localhost ~]# slmodemd &
[1] 3868
[root at localhost ~]# SmartLink Soft Modem: version
2.9.10 Dec 18 2004 08:01:11
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/3' created.
modem `slamr0' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/3'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for
termination.
Upon every boot, I have to retype slmodemd at the
console so that I can connect to the net.
I tried also copying a suggestion from another mail
after I loaded slmodemd.
[root at localhost ~]# cp -a /dev/ttySL0
/etc/udev/devices
[root at localhost ~]# chown root.root
/etc/udev/devices/ttySL0
This did not work. I probably need to create a
definition for udev. But how do I do it? I have read
some of the documentation of udev. But I am afraid of
messing up the system.
Before udev when devfs was in place, had no problems
with loading slamr upon boot. Any suggestions and/or
advice will be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas
to all and a Happy New Year.
Thanks in advance,
Antonio
