Hello, People who are using Sify as their ISP have just gotten lucky as I have finally been able to automate the whole login/logout process using Expect. Now, I can login/logout just by pressing a single icon (infact, the same one)!!! Anyone interested in getting the code can mail me.
Yes, please do give the code. It will help many Sify users!

Here it is! What my script does is that it brings down the interaction required down to level zero. That is, instead of you having to type the command 'sifyconnect -l' and 'sifyconnect -o' to login and logout, you will just have to click a button to do both things, without you being needed to manually type in your username and password. I will try to improve its functionlity by modifying it over the course of time. I am thinking of adding logging facility to it. Will share if and when I do it.
The objective is to make the Sify dialer easy and convenient, even for beginners. But again, my scripts rely on the same *non-free* Sify client, I have just created a wrapper for it. What we need is a full-fledged *free* client which can be customized according to our needs. If there was one, I would never have had to create my own script. I would have to just edit the configuration files and connect directly.
Anyways, I am attaching the file with this mail. Go through the README for detailed instructions on setting up the script for your account. Any suggestions/comments are welcome. If you add some extra functionality to it or develop your own script, please share it with the community.
I accept donations in form of cash and cheque only :P
