I'm not a PCMCIA guru but as I think when modem is on PCMCIA card line in /etc/inittab should be only when this modem is in slot. And as I know this is what (among other things) pcmcia-modules package does. It loads any needed modules into kernel, inserts apropriate lines in configuration files and restarts all neded daemons. And when card is disconnected it works just in opposite way. Just consult any linux-pcmcia-user (I'll try to speak about it with my friend which works with such configuration). -- o------------------o ___ |Leszek Gerwatowski| _/_|_\ o------------------o (o\__/o)=))))))))))))) "Don't fix it if it isn't broken"
