I'd like to monitor the max stable rate for my plusnet account, and get growl warnings when the rate has changed.
Is there a way to get a RSS feed for a given user and password to the information given on the page:
https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=stable_rate
?
Thanks!

The RSS protocol doesn't support authentication, but I suspect you could throw a script together to scrape the information.

I was wondering if the my.html script would take extra parameters like username and password perhaps. That way I could give it to a script which converts web pages to RSS.

I used the "cacti" package to monitor a number of machines & services, including my router and ISP data. This uses rrdtool to create graphs of the monitored data.
For this, I wrote a Perl script that extracts this data from the PN website. This uses the LWP UserAgent, and requires the username + password to be able to connect.
So I get it graphed, but I haven't bolted anything in that lets me know if something bad has happened.
