MTN B970 connection software?

[CeeBee]

Anybody with a B970 modem found a solution to data usage monitoring?
With this modem, u can login into it via its web browser, but there is no data logger, counting up&down data transfered, only current session stats.

Does the Vodacom (or other) flavour of the software show more info?

What I would reeely like is connection software, where it logs the total data transfered (with option to reset every month) and either (and?) send a message when a predetermined Mb quantity has been exceeded, or just come to a complete stop and disconnect, so we know there is a problem.
Is there custom software that can check it? (guess I can let all connect through proxy server that shows the stats?)
Alternative, I guess also, is to use the modem as USB modem, connected to another pc, and use Ginggs' software to reset and log the usage... but its so much easier to use the modem as the gateway on its own.

Our data bundle on the modem (shared on the network) has run out somewhere this week, so its anybody's guess what the account is now
On Nashua Mobile we have a corporate account and where they block the account if the usage is more than 3x monthly spend, but MTN-SP where we have this modem's account with, just tells me there is no way to limit it

At least on Telkom we get messages "u have used more than X% of the data bundle" so, even if the msg may be delayed a bit, at least we can have an idea when bundle is fin. (I use MTN and VC, instead of two modems running same network)
But seems no such service on MTN.

@ GINGGS.... is it possible to add a function to your great mdma app, that gives an option to put in a limit to the total data used since reset, monitors the total data used since reset, and disconnects if the limit is reached?
Or alternatively... where is this running total stored? Perhaps a small vb proggie can monitor this amount and give a shout out that the preset limit is reached?

Huawei B970 - Wireless Gateway - MDMA - Mobile Data Monitoring Application

If you install the driver for the Huawei B970 - Wireless Gateway, which is in fact on the Router itself, you will be able to use Ginggs's MDMA - Mobile Data Monitoring Application.

You have to use the USB cable and connect it directly to you computer, instead of using the power adaptor.
Be sure to stop or disable any other software that may communicate with the modem, like VMC, HMC, or HMP.

Hi,

downloaded mdma yesterday and tested with E160 and worked fine.
I was able to get connected to the Internet.
Today, the above link is not accessible.

I can not find MDMA on my disk in downloads.

Any web-link for MDMA provided ?

This seems to be the achilles heel of the B970 , as it doesn't seem to have a dashboard to monitor your data consumption.
