Met with GM Broadband @ MTNL last Friday and he told me that their portal software was not ready to handle NU and non NU hours for the NU plan i.e. if the login sessions spans over NU and non NU hours, the traffic could counted towards "additional usage" leading to the overcharge nightmare I posted a few weeks back. He told me to turn the modem off/on @ 00:00 and 08:00 which would create fresh login sessions until the portal vendor provides them with a fix (this method was also discussed in this list).
Fortunately, with a Linux/*nix box, the following script can automate this annoying chore. You need expect and tcl packages installed in your box.

Mind if I distribute the script "as-is" ? I would know some people that would be grateful :)
Thanks,
