Per dialin line basis (modem, vty, terminal); 2. Per process (one may use system accounting easily to accumulate time for all the processes of any user). The very concept of "network login" seems to be a bit fuzzy on UNIX, despite thefact that you probably may run getty on all the pty's :))) Or am I wrong?)
