Yes.  The start up of that application can be anywhere but right now I have it 
set up in a script in /etc/init.d  and I am able to start/stop it using 
chkconfig etc..  I would like to keep it that way.  But a way around the 
problem would be to stick the 'call' for the application, in the bottom of 
the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.  Not very professional, but that will fix my 
problem.  However, I would like to stick  with the script if I can..

That was a thought too.  Can't find the syntax for these modules.  The two 
modules called are 'netrom and mkiss'.  Maybe someone out there might have a 
tip or two on the correct syntax for these modules..??
