    My ISP is placing strict restrictions on how much I can transfer each
    month, with high penalties for exceeding their limits. However, they
    don't provide any way for their customer's to check to see how much
    they've transferred, so we end up transferring far less than what we are
    allowed, just to make sure we avoid paying the fines for going over the
    limit.

    So, what I need to do is find a way to monitor my total bandwidth
    through my external NIC. My gateway is running FreeBSD 4.8 with
    ipf+ipnat.

    I *don't* need anything fancy. All I need is to be able to check at any
    time how much I've transferred since the first of the month. What's the
    easiest way to set up something like this? I know there are fancy
    solutions with graphs with usage stats and such, but that's not what I'm
    after.

    Thanks for your advice,
