Tracking logins and login time is easy. If they login directly using multiport boards, last login_id gives you a nice report suitable for awk or perling. If you are using terminal servers and radius there are scripts available to parse the radius log files. See http://www.aros.net/util/ and http://www.livingston.com/Tech/Links/index.shtml I'm sure tacacs has similar stuff if you use that. For tracking transfer volume you'll have to ask another Aussie, we don't have to worry about that here :) We do track usage for colo machines using tcpdump and perl scripts but I don't think that would scale well to dialup numbers. If you don't get any responses on the volume issue, repost to isp@freebsd.org. Lots of .au folks on that list.
