Matt, Thanks for the info. All, The Root command /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restartdoes in sequence stopping slmodemd removing the driver installing the driver restarting slmodemdSo these are the actions called by putting the command within the/etc/acpi/resume.d/ set. The sl-modem-daemon package with its setupscripts are maintained by Eduard Bloch. Given the setup problems occassionally encountered, i think it wouldbe useful to add a /etc/acpi/resume.d/86_slmodem.sh to Eduard'spackage, BUT it should be inactive as installed, only to be activatedby the User after all modem setup problems were mastered.
