Hi Jason, Eric and Charles,
Thank you guys for all useful info. I will look at Jason's code when he
sends me and see if I can make something out of it. The way I understand is
that the data from the command Eric wrote below ("ip -s link show ppp0")
will represent the data calculated from when the machine is up and never got
reset if we do not do anything. It must be very big after sometime, right?
Mine looks like that
# ip -s link show eth0
7: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
link/ether 00:20:af:d9:14:e3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast
1684047309 7243074 0 0 0 0
TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
375562570 4917437 0 0 0 2769

You can see the amount of bytes incomeing and outgoing with the ip -s link
show
"interfacename"
ip -s link show ppp0
16: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP> mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen
3
link/ppp
RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast
13167444 18555 0 0 0 0
TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
1586297 16948 0 0 0 0
This is independent of the "flavour" Dachstein bering, oxygen"-
You could create a cron script that with the use of the mail command mails
this to you
in several intervals.
So you could have a "hourely" /weekly statistics.
I don't know if there is a way to reset the counter
