ChargeMeter keeps history, so you can see when and how much money you spend when you used your internet connection. A simple but effective utility to monitor your monthly dial up on line time with a very small foot print. This program requests a page at every interval. This program does not use much bandwidth on your internet connection. The first time a page is requested, only the html file will be downloaded.
Every next request is done by using the cache.
When it senses a connect or disconnect event, it will launch or close programs that you've configured. This program shows the current speed of an internet connection.
