And by the way your making good progress I see.
-Installed OpenBSD
-Installed the modem
-And already finding your way to needing the first script
(a script is just the same as :
A file with all the commands in it you need, and then they are processed sequentially one by one. If you put it in a dir excecute it by typing ./scriptname (when you are in the dir) or /pathtodir/scriptname (when not in dir)
Got any more questions?
