== Accounting ==
 
To save the accounting data,
I used a script called out from /etc/cron.hourly and will end up with a directory tree with accounting data that resembles that from AAISP’s clueless pages but broken down by MAC address. If I had [[Ethernet over ADSL]] then the ISP might do this step instead. Old data may need to be rotated away from the output area eventually though.
