Since it came up ...
It says not supporting server behind SQUID proxy - any workaround known ?
Sadly server wish to get working on is behind such - getting 500 
Internal Server error when get password prompt.
Or is it that O2 have changed their site again, and software not 
up-to-date with new changes made ?

If I manage to get it working - I'll be doing this alright - mainly 
however server stats/info - i.e. if anything _bad_ happens ... sms alert .
Quite easy to do - just use expect and cant get much easier provided ya 
know what you wish to do.
