Assuming that ppp does give out data nicely you could quite easily wrap
it in a perl
(or other) script and use a database (mysql) to store it. From which you

Is there any isp script sets? with call limits, login, user account
etc.
I assume that terminal servers would have something, but just out of
interest...
