WVDial will auto-reconnect when booted, so you're correct as re-dial isn't
the problem.

The problem is the boot.  It won't dial from any of the init scripts..not
even pick up the line ..  unless it's merely exiting when the init scripts
exit (?) .. but I thought that either the keyword 'daemon' or the suffice
'&' would put it in a permanent child shell - which it doesn't seem to do.

Any suggestions?
