Guys n Gals,
We have 2 Desktops in our house & I want to be able to track each machines usage - and if need be "suspend" internet access on each machine where possible. I also want to track how much internet usage each machine is using. In a bid to aviod the Automated Telephone call. I also want to be able to block certain sites & view a history for that machine.
Can anyone offer any advice or reccomend any good free open source programs.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

Well last time we had VM - we used the get a phone call - when the Traffic Management system kicked in - it was last year around february, just after VM first started the traffic management.
Used to say something like "Your close to the limit / your using too much" something like that anywho.
ive never heard anything like that with the STM kicking in

Hmm wierd, maybe they dont do that anymore - who knows either way I want to avoid being hit with Traffic Management

They were probably having to make too many calls and jamming up their own phone system:D

No phone call to worry about, when you go over your limit your speed gets cut but unless it gets beyond the realms of abusive they're not going to say anything.

The DIR-655 has this option when you install the bsecure firmware, Im using it now :) it doesnt ring you though when you go over your limit instead sends an alert to your PC's to tell you.
