Got my Triband working today :-)) . Did a little googling for rebooting=20
the modem.

 From
1. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect> and
2.=20
<http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/63702-can-you-w=
rite-script-starts-telnet-then-input-commands-into-telnet.html>

I think this little script for rebooting a GLB-502T can be scheduled=20
with cron. Its bound to work for other modems too; with some modifications.

<script>
#!/usr/bin/expect

spawn telnet 192.168.1.1

expect "BusyBox on localhost login: "
send "root\r"

expect "Password: "
send "password\r"

expect "# "
send "reboot\r"

expect "%"
send "exit\r"

expect eof
</script>

Is surely better than timers and such.
Regards.
