Hi! I'm going to setup a system with a dial-up modem for sporadic Internet access; a provider that charges per second online time is used. Is there a way ppp (which is used for dialing) can log the online time (or at least the connection's start and stop time) so the costs can be calculated? Furthermore, are there already tools that, for example, would use the daily, weekly or monthly periodic jobs to inform via mail about how much online time was spent? Or, in addition, how much money this would mean (built-in calculation)? If it doesn't already exist, I'm sure I'll code it. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
