I think this is old info but incase all new mtnl adsl subscribers here not knowing it so I am sharing. Sorry if someone has already posted it before but i'm in a hurry so did not check.
I have the Night unlimited download plan and today morning i was in a shock when i saw my balance. The unlimited time is between 0000hrs - 0800 hrs. But to activate the unlimited count you have to reboot the router after 0000 hrs and that is what i didn't do
Now what i have found out is that there is a linux kernel installed on the router with iptables and some network binaries like ifconfig etc.
Just telnet to the router:
telnet 192.168.1.1
BusyBox on (none) login: root
Password: (Enter yor admin password here)
hey thats the shell prompt u got now
# ls
# cat /etcp/passwd
# reboot
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
# cat /proc/version
# iptables -L
Remember to block telnet from external network with iptables if u have not changed your admin password LoL!
The webserver is not apache lol offcourse it is very heavy on resources so the alternative is "thttpd" webserver on the router
You may also reboot the router from http://192.168.1.1 but now prefer command line than graphical mode
There is a script i found from here to take care of my Night Unlimited download issue:
