What are you using for your router/ISDN connection?
You could probably set sendmail up to log mail size and stuff used by
username for both incoming and outgoing - but I'm stuffed if I know if you
can get Squid to do the same.

Again, what are you using for dialins? PPP on a Linux box will log session
details, down to username and bytes transferred - it's only a matter of
recording them, and massaging them into a useable format. If you're using
something else {Shiva or something esoteric}, give out with details.
