An idea would be to use ifenslave to bond both the interfaces
together. i.e if one went down, the other would be up and running.
You'd have a common interface name e.g. bond1 with a static IP address
which would transparently hook together both interfaces. Alternatively
you can try and set up a shell script that reconfigures network
interfaces between certain times of the day or other conditions (this
would mean not allowing NetworkManager to use the interface).


To allow people to ssh in via your airtel connection, all you need to
do is set up portforwarding on the router provided.
