I'm not good enough to write programs yet, that's why I'm asking. I want
to know if there's already a program available that I can run and it will
just plop, give me the connect time. there is a program that i seen once
for X that will do this, but i don't use X and so I want to know if
there's one for the console.
If no one can point me to one, then I guess I'll just have to wait for it
until I can afford more books on programming and programming for Linux and
then I'll write one myself.
I would think that somewhere, Linux would do some sort of accounting for
something like that, wouldn't it?
