Nitin, If you read the Smartlink.txt, there are instructions on how to automate. With any route there to, the intention is to achieve a setup sequence # mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr # slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 Then open a 2nd console and dialout. For a 2nd dialout after a first success, if there is a dialout failure, itf may be necessary too stop slmodemd with Ctrl-C # modprobe -r slamr # modprobe -r ungrab-winmodem # modprobe ungrab-winmodem # modprobe slamr # slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 Then open a 2nd console and dialout.
