Thanks for the reply Cliff. I'm not sure what you mean by "I need
networking enabled", since I've got some /etc/rc.d/rc.inet* scripts
that *are* getting run.

I'm also getting some help on this where I originally posted it in
alt.os.linux.slackware (subject: slack, help with simple ppp dialup).
*** I probably should've given the post there a few days fermentation
time before posting here and having duplication. :) ***

Please direct any further interest to that thread. Thank you. (I don't
yet have a solution, but am getting there.)
