Program to comput cost of LAN users uptime via proxy server

[kenbasr]

We have to pay by the minute for internet access in Ireland! I want to use a Linux proxy server to give LAN clients access to the web but need a program that will summarise the time spent online by each user and, if possible, calculate the cost. Call costs vary depending on the time of day a user logs on also which is a complicating factor.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'd think a simpler solution would be not to do realtime and just read the logs when a user logs in, logs out, and calculates cost based on time of day. Of course then the users wont know how much they spent :/
