I have set it up for a few small ISP's that I remote admin. If you want a really serious billing package, the best bang for your buck is Platypus ( http://www.boardtown.com ) They also have a new customer care package thats really good. If you're looking for software to bill for bandwidth usage, IPMeter is the hands down winner. ( http://www.IP23.com ) I will warn you that it can be tricky to set up. I know that you've gotten a bad time about your e-mail address from this list. Don't take it seriously. While I'll admit to getting a chuckle from it, but I mean nothing by that. It's a free country after all. I would point out to you that you asked a question about billing software, and one of your detractors suggested proxy software as a solution. How serious can he be? If you will give me a better idea of what you need to bill, and how many, I can give you better pointers on the software. -- Bob Martin, CTO InterNet Unlimited http://www.inu.net mailto:bob@inu.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
