IF the systems involved are DofE equipment, there are specific
government requirements for any chargeback system.  

Some years back, I was involved with chargeback on a DEC-10 for the
Dept. Of Trans. and a Sperry 1100/63 for the Navy.  At that time, at
least, there was an OMB directive in force (I believe it was OMB-121)
which had some very specific constraints on chargeback systems.

The outline in another post, just to charge for connect/elapsed time,
while it has great merit, would not qualify under the OMB-121
guidelines.
