1. What is Online Meter ?
-------------------------
Online Meter is a utility monitoring your Dial-Up Networking or modem
connections. Based on individual tariff definitions, it calculates the
phone costs caused by these connections and offers several counters.
Online Meter creates a detailed log of all your connections, including
starting time, length, costs and descriptive information about the
connection. This log can be queried using Online Meter or exported for
further processing by other applications.
Moreover, timers can be set to play sounds after some online time or
after a given number of units.
Online Meter can be adapted easily to tariff structures of most phone
companies around the world. This includes support for holidays and
reduction schemes. For some phone companies, prepared files with tariff
definitions can be downloaded from Online Meter homepage.
2. Installation

5. License Agreement/Disclaimer
-------------------------------
Please read the following terms carefully. Unless you have a different
license agreement signed by the author, your use of this software
indicates your acceptance of this license agreement and disclaimer. If
you do not agree with any term of this agreement, stop using this
software immediately.
Disclaimer:
-----------
The software is provided "as-is" and without any kind of warranty,
expressed or implied, including but not limited to, any warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Especially the
author does not give any guarantee of the exactness of the counting
and calculating algorithm.
In no event shall the author be liable for any direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to
damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of
business information, and the like) arising out of the use or
inability to use this software even if the author has been advised of
the possibility of such damages.
Shareware version:
------------------
Online Meter is shareware. You may use the program for free during a
35 day trial period beginning with the day of the installation to
check if it matches your needs.
If you want to continue use of this program after the expiration of
that period, you have to purchase a license and to register as a user.
Otherwise you have to remove the program from your computer in order
not to offend against copyright laws.
Remember: By purchasing a license you also support the future
development of the program.
You may distribute the shareware version. But you have to pay
attention only to distribute the whole set of files, consisting of the
following ones:
SETUP.EXE
README.TXT
These files may not be changed. You are allowed to charge only a
little nominal fee for the copying process. The distribution of the
shareware version on CD-ROM is allowed explicitly, as long as you can
recognize without doubt that this is shareware. IÆm grateful for any
message telling me about the inclusion on a shareware CD, just as well
as about references to press reviews.
Licensed version:
-----------------
Distribution of the licensed version, that means the registered
version, is not allowed. You may install the software for use on only
one system at the same time. If you install the software on a network
server to be used on workstations, you have to purchase a license for
each workstation.
You are not allowed to distribute your personal license data (the
so-called license key).
