Thanks for any information > > RYan Just as a note - if you're seeing 0 0 0 0 from the same user constantly, it probably means they're autmatically checking mail every x minutes, which will keep a dialup user on-line all day if idle time < x. It may be unintential, but is a common way for people to run dedicated connections without any fancy scripting. I noticed a few of our users checking mail every five minutes which kept them on-line for days, and setup radius so they would be disconnected after 4 hours. One of my works in progress is to develop a CGI script that makes nice charts of popper use - if you'd like to take a look at it once I'm done, just mail me. -- "Mr. Spock, your mind is incedibly logical and analytical!"
