`phonebill' is, simply said, a log file analyzer. What it basically does is scan log file(s) generated by a terminal program or a mailer, extract all information about calls you have made by using your modem, and store this in its own (short) format. After extracting the calls `phonebill' can generate various reports in which you can find information on duration and costs of the calls.

Here is a small list of the main features:

• Very flexible user-configurable rates, supporting exceptions for certain days and dates.
• User-configurable log scanners: `phonebill' by default supports various log files, but for any log file that is not supported the user is able to create a scanner. The following is a list of log files that are already supported:
  • AmiTel
  • AutoPilot
  • CyberPager
  • DreamTerm
  • GMS
  • GPFax
  • ISDN Master Telephone log
  • JamMail
  • JrComm
  • MagiCall
  • MicroDot
  • Multifax (both v2.0 and Multifax professional)
  • NComm
  • Off-line Amiga
  • Plink
  • Term action log and Term call log
  • Terminus
  • TheAnswer
  • TKR-BTX
  • Trapdoor
  • Trapfax
  • UUCP TimeLog
  • XenoLink
  • ZeeTerm
• Log files can be automatically truncated if their size exceeds the maximum size.
• Generates miscellaneous reports: statistics, total costs, predicted costs ...
• Context-sensitive online help.
• Supports new 3.0 features (new look menus, ...).
• Nice `Amiga User Interface Style Guide' conformant user interface.
• Supports `traplist.library'.
