Re: CD Audio Interferes with Modem.

Glad to hear it worked.

You either have to throw it in a boot script like rc.local or any other rc
file that can access the location of the hdparm binary.

Also, hdparm supports writing parameters to the drive.. but I only use the
bootscript method over storing machine-specific params in a drive that may be
used elsewhere.  *shrug*  Maybe my concerns are unfounded, but you have the
option.
