Your skript still checks if /etc/sysconfig/config contains $START_ADSL, which 
it probably doesn't. Append START_ADSL="yes" to that file or comment out 
these lines:
 test $link = $base && START=yes
 test "$START" = "yes" || exit 0
That should make it work...
I think we could need some boot logging (/var/log/boot.msg) to make solving 
these problems easier (esp for people w/o attached monitors)

This is fine: When going from runlevel R1 into runlevel R2, first all 
Kill-scripts K* in runlevel rcR1.d/ are executed, then all Start-Skripts S* 
in runlevel rcR2.d/ (both in ascending order) - except for those services 
which should be running in both runlevels (those skripts are skipped, not 
stopped and started).
By doing it this way, going from runlevel 3 to 5 only starts the XServer (in 
distros that have XFree)...
