No, it's not ;)

Our backup policy is to backup everything under /var/ipcop, except for=20
those files related to the version (languages, header.pl, etc.). If=20
addons places their files under /var/ipcop, they will be backed up. If=20
that's not what they (or you) want, either place them somewhere else, or=20
add the var/ipcop/addons to your var/ipcop/backup/exclude.user file.

Really not sure how to fix this. I think we'll have to live with this=20
after the final.

I have made a small modification. The link is onyl visible if the=20

uploaded a driver anyway.

Yes, I know... :-(

What I gathered from the eciadsl page was that you need a synch.bin file=20
often depending on the type of modem you use.

Done.

I agree.

*SNIP*
It's very ugly if the driver (modem_run) waits indefinitely in the=20
foreground for line sync to occur. I don't want to start it in the=20
background either, because I don't want to start pppd before that.
Kind regards,
