Hi,

Timers have a nice feature to run (count time) when certain dial-up 
connection is active.

I would very much like such timer to count the traffic too. WHen I 
hoover the mouse over that connection icon at the tray, I can see 
the UL/DL traffic so PP most likely does not need to count the data, 
just take this number and write it to the log after the connection 
is broken. After each connection, lenght ot the connection, UL and 
DL bytes would of course be written in the log in a well structured 
way so it can be read by the PP script, say, each session could 
result in such a line at the log:

yyyymmdd, uploaded_bytes, dowlnoaded_bytes, seconds_duration

I have a great need for such counter since I pay my traffic by the 
volume and not by the time, and after I pass certain limit, I start 
paying by megabyte and the price is terrible. So, I must take great 
care to stay within my subscribed data limit. 

I have written a script to check my usage calculating it on the data 
from the DUmeter (proggy couniting on-line time and traffic) but 
this DUmetter is not a brite applicaiton, so it does not write the 
data to the log after each connection, but only after a day is over. 
This means that my script can not take into account today's traffic.

Regards,

Davor
