Hey all,

I’m having some interesting issues where my modem doesn’t get initialized until very late in boot. So, when I go to start pppd it fails with the following:

Aug  1 13:01:14 mtcdt daemon.err pppd[615]: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option '/dev/modem_at0'
Aug  1 13:01:14 mtcdt daemon.err pppd[616]: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option '/dev/modem_at0'

Aug  1 13:01:15 mtcdt daemon.err pppd[628]: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option '/dev/modem_at0'
Aug  1 13:01:15 mtcdt daemon.err pppd[629]: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option '/dev/modem_at0'
Aug  1 13:01:15 mtcdt daemon.err pppd[630]: In file /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option '/dev/modem_at0'

Is there any way to get the priorities set so it initializes earlier?

This shows up later in syslog:
