Erm ... what does this have to do with Macs ?  These questions should
be put to your telecommunications company (probably BT) since it is
they who set the g4 and g5 charges.  Demon have nothing to do with

There's no mechanism in the Demon implementation of PPP that
can do different things depending on the current time so you
have to run a script that changes PPP setups depending on the
time.
