Okay, there are a few ways we can go about for the NU Problem.
The simplest is to program the modem that it disconnects with 5 mins of inactivity, and you simply stop your download manager at 7.30 odd.
The alternatives are
Manually reboot your connection
Use a Bridged Connection and login through your PC, thereby using the already mentioned method.
Use a Bridged Connection and if you have a
Linksys router, you can program your linksys router to stop sending traffic.
The best is using the GLB-502T modem. This is because it works with a linux system inside. I am not sure of the older modems whether this works, but I personally have this, so i know it will. Simply telnet to your router, and login with root and whatever your router password is, and then try this: sleep ; reboot
So if you were doing this at 1AM , and you wished to reboot this in 2 mins: then you do sleep 120; reboot and enter. Therefore if you were at 1 AM and wanted to reboot at 7.30 am, you simple type
sleep 23400; reboot
So that means it will wait for 23400 seconds (6.5 hours) and then reboot the modem
Alternatively, you could schedule a task to automatically reboot the modem through TST.
192.168.1.1 23
WAIT "BusyBox on localhost login:"
SEND "root\m"
WAIT "Password"
SEND "admin\m"
WAIT "#"
SEND "reboot\m"
wait "#"[/b]
Scheduling would actually be the best way to go about, since your computer actually sends the signals to reboot the modem, this would force the modem to logoff and log back in in pppoe. Also, for those of you hving multiple machines, this could be a life saver. You could alternativelyt program it such that it reboots once at 0700 and then 0730 and then again at 0755 hours.
I think there is a way to shut it down as well, maybe init 0 or something. Its just that I dont have access to the router at present since i am on an alternate connection and had to unplug it. But im sure there should be a way to go about it.
I dont have my triband connection yet, i guess i gotta wait for a while. Once I get it, I probably would be playing around to get the most of it AGAIN
