That's true, but you could arrange for the obey file on every machine to

Could do - if they were all RISC OS, but mixed RO, XP, Vista, MacOS... I
don't think so!

We have 7 'puters in the house (mixed RPCs, Iyo, Mac and Windoze) - so
I would need something to talk with the router via SNMP.

Is the router's log accessible?

Dunno. If it is, I've not dfound it. There is a fairly comprehensive OS
which I can talk to via Nettle, but no documentation.

I have found a Mac OS program which does just that, and displays
throughput and total usage. It will enable me to see if/when large
downloads are happening and check whether the ISP's monitoring is in
fact correct. Otherwise, it's very limited.

That sounds fairly comprehensive, what more do you need it to do?

Work properly. It's designed for Apple's Airport and I don't think it's
operating properly. Uses snmp to talk with router, but again no
documentation, either for prog or for router.
