I'd love to, but I don't even know who the ISP is, to tell the truth.
The apartment complex uses some kind of distributed phone and cable
system the precludes using DSL or cable. So, I'm kinda stuck with what
they have. It just shows up on my rent bill, and I pay it. The manager
told me that the owner of the complex handles it all, so she (the
manager) doesn't really know who the company is either. I'd have tried
to do some kind of lookup on the gateway and dhcp server ip addresses,
but they were all 10.x.x.x, and so that won't help either. Oh well.

Another thing you should do is find out if they mirror any of the
stuff you're downloading, most ISPs don't count your internal usage.
Using their web proxy (if they have one) is another good way to slow
down your usage.
I know that's not what you're looking for, but it counts anyway.

Hello all,
I have a problem right now with my ISP. Basically, they impose what I
consider pretty unfair restrictions on bandwidth, and total data
transfer (both up and down) per month. Unfortunately, I'm not in a
position to switch, for various reasons. As a result, I've been looking
for some method or tool to monitor the total data transfer per month of
a particular interface on my gateway/firewall/proxy machine, so that I
can see that total, and have the computer send an email to me when I get
close to the limit, etc. I don't have any problem working with scripts
or databases, but I just haven't found anywhere to pull the statistics
from. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
The system is running ClarkConnect Home Edition v 2.1 (based on RH9 w/
kernel 2.4.20), if that helps at all.
Thanks,
Lloyd Brown
