Lucky you! I didn't get the softmodem on my TP570 (lucent modem) into a
working state.
Since your script needs to be run just once after system boot, you could for
instance append the line
/path_to_script/acpsetup
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, so it gets automatically executed when your box
switches to runlevel 2, 3 or 5. If you want it to be run only in certain
runlevels (e.g. 5) make a link named S99z_acpsetup in /etc/rc5.d/, i.e. you
type
ln -s /path_to_script/acpsetup /etc/rc5.d/S99z_acpsetup
This way you don't have to su or anything like that.
Good luck,
Nico
