Here it is! What my script does is that it brings down the interaction required down to level zero. That is, instead of you having to type the command 'sifyconnect -l' and 'sifyconnect -o' to login and logout, you will just have to click a button to do both things, without you being needed to manually type in your username and password. I will try to improve its functionlity by modifying it over the course of time. I am thinking of adding logging facility to it. Will share if and when I do it. The objective is to make the Sify dialer easy and convenient, even for beginners. But again, my scripts rely on the same *non-free* Sify client, I have just created a wrapper for it. What we need is a full-fledged *free* client which can be customized according to our needs. If there was one, I would never have had to create my own script. I would have to just edit the configuration files and connect directly. Anyways, I am attaching the file with this mail. Go through the README for detailed instructions on setting up the script for your account. Any suggestions/comments are welcome. If you add some extra functionality to it or develop your own script, please share it with the community. I accept donations in form of cash and cheque only :P -- Regards, Sanket Medhi, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
