Automating Dial-up

["Tyson Varosyan" <tigran@tigran.com>]

Hi all,

I posted on this before, but something is not working out for me. Please
help.

What I am trying to do: I would like my box to dial-up on it's own when it
is turned on without my having to log in.

What I have done:

nano -w /etc/init.d/startwvdial

into the file I type in:

wvdial verizon     
# (This command works for me when I am logged in to dial up using my verizon
connection.)

update-rc.d startwvdial defaults

This is what happens on bootup:

/etc/init.d/rc: line 30: /etc/rc2.d/S20startwvdial: Permission Denied

I am VERY new to Linux, so please make the instructions as detailed as
possible. I am not opposed to using pppd ether, if that makes things easier.


Thanks in advance,
