Verizon tells me that they do not monitor how much individual accounts

Is there a way that I can keep track? I don't see a package in Synaptic
that measures it within the system.
The best approach is probably to use a wireless router that has
accounting in it. If you install dd-wrt on any of the supported
routers, you'll get nice pretty graphs showing your usage.
