Hello UUCPfolk,

I am looking for tools that would help record transfer times and
sizes from/to connected systems. I am using HDB uucp on SunOS 4.1
currently, and the current level of logging is simply not good enough.

What I need, is some way to generate a report such as:

System x has moved so-and-so bytes in such-and-such files at
such and such times to system y through my system (z).

The current logging on my uucp can only say what files I have
received from or sent to each system, and there is no report on
where files I send out originated from...

I need this for accounting purposes. I currently use uucp for
overseas (!!!) connections, and intend to let some people
"share" the line with me, splitting overhead and news costs.
I MUST be able to track volume being passed through me,
since I cannot charge people correctly otherwise,
and at $1.2/min that can mean alot.
I do not want to charge people by connection times TO me,
since I don't intend charging for news or local mail, only
for mail passed on the overseas connection...

Are there any such tools available (openly) out there on the net?

AdvThanks,

--Gil.
