Hello Doug-
Well! A vague question (which was intentional BTW) gets a vague
answer (intentional as well I'm sure!). We're thinking about 1)
whether or not to monitor internet traffic for liability and security
purposes, and 2) how to do it. I suppose we could monitor volume,
times and duration of usage, among other things. I've got a FreeBSD
box working here, and know if anything is capable of these things, it
is. I guess I'm a little new to the admin side of the internet, so
I'm looking for any suggestions at all about what it takes to do these
things, and if FreeBSD is a good choice.
Thanks
-Glen

Monitor in what way?
