And that's it. If you said "Yes" to the final question, the connection will automatically be started when you switch on the PC.
Otherwise, you can call
/etc/init.d/speedtouch start as root to start the connection on subsequent reboots.If you want to control the connection, see the FAQ article about "How can I start/stop the connection manually?".
