With roughly 3700 calls per day, our logfile (trace level 4) is roughly
6-6.5 meg, with the details file being slightly smaller, at about 5-5.5 meg
per day.  All our accounting we log into a database, but we also use the
standard logfiles just as a backup.

So for a month, these two log files account for about 300+ meg (getting
bigger every month).  Since we are running Radiator under NT, I just use
WinZip once a month to archive the logs, which brings them down to about 25
meg per month, which is not bad compression!
