Paul, The modem setup can be automated but is not advisable, since the driver is experimental code. Should some interaction cause your System to crash on bootup, you would have to use a rescue disk to bootup and disable the automation. But with this warning , To automate martian_helper action upon martian_drv loading, put a SINGLE line in in one of your /etc/modprobe.d/ files: install martian_drv modprobe --ignore-install martian_drv ; /usr/sbin/martian_modem It will run martian_modem after martain_drv loading. If you also add to /etc/modules a line martian_drv Then martian_drv will load on bootup. Or alternatively you can create an /etc/init.d/ script as Jacques mentions.

Paul, Yes martian_modem must be running when dialling. However this does not need to be done manually. I am not familiar with Debian systems so you will have to make an effort to find the right path. You almost certainly have a directory /etc/rc.d/init.d or perhaps /etc/init.d Look into it. Type which martian_modem to find where this module is stored on your disk (if you do not know). For example it could be /usr/local/bin/martian_modem So in the init.d directory create a file named martian_modem (for example; your choice is free). This file should contain three lines #!/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/martian_modem # (if this is the right place of course) exit Now make it executable chmod a+x martian_modem If you use Gnome (or equivalent) use the system settings menu -> Task Manager to activate martian_modem (you will see it in the list of available init tasks). Essentially trivial, as you see, but you may have to work a little bit, again, because I am not Debian.
