I don't know if this would be the correct way to do this, but hey it works
in a half assed way.
to kill my connect I just type 'killall pppd' at the command line, it
kills my connect and I hear the modem 'click' shut
For you init string, I don't know.
As for starting your connect at boot time, before anyone logs in, put the
command in a script, then call it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local in slackware.
In suse 5.3 just put the script in /etc/rc.d/rc.runlevel, where runlevel
is your run level.
It will work, but you might want to run it by a local guru to see if there
is a better way.
Hope that helps,
