    Hi,
    I have the cellular model and have used this page to start the internet connection via cellular connection using this page

    http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/mlinux-cellular-connection/
    and
    http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/start-cell-connection-on-boot/

    All worked well until I did a factory reset using the button in front of the conduit.

    When I try setting up the ppp connection all works well and I can get internet connection. But if I do a reboot the ppp service will not start automatically despite having done the steps described in
    http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/start-cell-connection-on-boot/

    The file /var/log/boot shows a line about starting the ppp service without errors but the service is not started unless I mannually start it with
    /etc/init.d/ppp start

    Is that a permission issue?
    Can you please help?

    Thanks 🙂

    I am getting the same issue. Is there a resolution of this issue?

    I get the following error.

    Starting up PPP link: pppd/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option ‘/dev/modem_at0’

    Try that

    Edit the init file for ppp service that starts the cellular connection
    nano /etc/init.d/ppp
    Add this line just before line 15 where you see “/etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot”
    sleep 30
    This make the script wait a little before starting the ppp_on_boot script. I had an issue without this extra line and the service was not starting at boot time.
    Save the file

    Now this makes the ppp service start at boot time
    update-rc.d ppp defaults
