Installing the modemlog

The Windows 95 logfile is the file that InterLog uses to calculate the money you spend on dialling your internet or network provider.

This is simply done by subtracting the end time from the start time for each session, and by doing some aritmethics on this number.

The modemlog is actually just a text file in which Windows 95 logs all information about your modem sessions. To enable the log, do the following:

•	Click "This Computer".

•	Click "NetWork via modem".

•	Select the icon for your net provider and rightpress.

•	Select "Options".

•	Click the button "Configure" under "Connect via".

•	Select tab "Connection"

•	Press button "Advanced".

•	Check the box "Record a log-file".

The modemlog is called modemlog.txt and is placed under the windows directory.

If InterLog reports "The modemlog was not found", please check the following:

•	You have enabled the logfile by following the above procedure.

•	The path and filname og the logfile under Logfile Setup is correct.

•	The logfile is not just enabled but also created by Windows 95. Windows 95 is known to not create the logfile before it's nessescary. To create it, try dialling your internet/network provider.

•	You actually have "Network via modem" on you computer, a modem installed and a network provider to call. If not, please delete this program from your harddisk. It won't do you no good.


Price Setup

In the price setup you set up the unit prices for the network connection. Remember to press OK when changes has been made.

Dialprices:

Price per dial:

The initial price you have to pay for each call.

Unit prices:

Normal price:

The price per minute you pay in normal hours.

Cheap price:

The price per minute you pay in cheap hours.

*173* special discount:

This is a Danish speciality. Danes can initially press *173* and get lower minutes prices, if the call is placed in cheap hours.

Startprice:

The initial price is raised. Type the new price that is used instead of the price under Dialprices, prices per dial here.

Unit price:

The new price per minute. Type the price that is used instead of the price under Unit prices, Cheap price.

Effectuated after:

The new price policy is first effectuated after a certain amount of time. Because of the raised startprice, the call will only be cheaper if you use the line for XX minutes.

Type the minutes here.

Logfile setup

Here you can setup the logfile settings.

Files:

Windows logfile:

The path and filename for the modemlog. Usually C:\Windows\modemlog.txt.

Temporary file:

The InterLog uses a temporary file. Type the path and filename here.

Reduce logfile size:

Checking this boks causes the InterLog to strip the modemlog for all information not used to calculate the prices.

Usually it strips away 50-90% of the file.

Logfile tokens:

Note! This is a experts settings option only! Do not alter these settings unless you know excactly what you are doing.

The settings is only avalible to secure future changes of the modemlog.

A token is a word or phrase that the InterLog looks for to identify a line.

When meeting a token "Dialing", InterLog knows that this line identifies a dial start, and the time has to be logged.

When meeting a token "Hanging up the modem.", InterLog will identify this line as the hangup.

The two times is subtracted and the total time between dial and hangup is found.
