I've found that some adsl modems (sagem fast800 in my case) require proper
initialization *before* running adsl-start. In order to have things right I
watch modem status file in /proc (/proc/adimodem from sagem) to check init
status. If you find the connection to fail to start at the system boot check
for this condition.
