I want to set up a fax server, but the clients should not be allowed to
send millons of faxes, and surely the should not fax to Japan.

Thus I need to know how many the telephon company will bill me for the faxes
sent by a specific user. (and how many faxes he sent).

Additionally specific numbers should be locked (emergrency call, etc.).

Are there any programms for that? Or is there a way to collect informations
about it to let a (own written) program calculate it?

Thanks!

Well, the log files are a start. In particular the xferlog lists the
length of time. As I recall it does not list the user however. I hacked
my hylafax (actually sendfax) to also log this info, but that was years
ago. Anyway start with the log files.
