The script worked fine till mid Dec/05. I have not made any changes to it after posting it on this list.
From the postings @ broadbandforum.in it is unlikely so many DLink
modems could be flaky. Seems like the problem is @ the MTNL end. It is interesting however that a soft reboot ends up in a login failure whereas a hard reboot succeeds (most times) - maybe it is just a coincidence.
Does hardboot (with the black reset button) restore factory defaults?
There was a problem at one clients place on friday. The mtnl guys came and did a hard reset (not sure if they restored factory settings) to get the connection up again. I had to reload my saved config.
Also has any one used BSNL. The modem is a Huwaei MT882 (Axistech). It simply refuses to work with a gnu browser (lynx, mozilla, firefox, konqueror) but ieexploder renders pages dished out by the modem. I ofcourse refuses to login with pppoe, bombing out with recieved "PADR" and connection reset by peer. The BSNL guys know nothing about the authentication or ethernet connection. They had it working on a xp box with usb. Will have to wait until monday to know what exactly they are upto.
