[AuckLUG] NEC Slmodem problem

[Ron Johns]

Hello all,
          Have a modem problem that I'm hoping someone can cast some 
light on...

We are running a NEC Versa C160 laptop with a smart modem. To get this 
thing running with Fedora 7  I have to use SLMODEM which after going 
through the hoops works fine...but ;

To get SLMODEMA working you have to bring up a terminal ,SU and run the 
command (slmodemd -c COUNTRY=NEWZEALAND --alsa modem:1)

This is OK but several people use the laptop some of whom cannot have 
root privileges. I have fiddled around with permissions etc but no way 
will this app run except in SU.

Can anyone tell me how to go deeper and change the permission without 
affecting SL Linux or other security settings ;or even better , how to 
get SL Modem to run on start up ?. I have set it in 
/SYSTEM/Personal/Sessions but it does not fire up.

Any help gratefully accepted
Regards
Ron
