I'm not in the ISP market, but about a year ago I installed IP accounting software on a server to see how it works. I looked and found ipac-ng and iag in an old download directory but I can't remember which one I got working.. The latest versions of both packages are not recent (2004, 2005) but at the time I got one of them working. Maybe you can do something with the below : ipac-ng: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28513 ipac-ng (howto): http://martybugs.net/linux/ipac.cgi iag: http://dev.lashout.net/iag/ (Needs Sablotron) Really, I don't remember which one worked and what the results looked like so I hope this is of any use.
