    I thank the people who has encouraged me to continue with the
    maintenance of momond. For them, and for other people who can need it
    I have made a lot of changes in momond, adding new features and a new
    xforms based frontend.

    You can find latest version of momond & xmomon (sources and binaries)
    here:

             ftp://slug.ctv.es/pub/slug/emelero

Read-me file for momond 1.3

WHAT-IS
- ------

  momond is a little C++ program that logs the activity of your modem line,
  writing on a file the time the carrier is detected, how long it
  was on and and the cost of the call. It Is the only modem daemon that 
  works as a watchdog for your modem line, interacting with an X program to 
  show a lot of information about your modem use.

  Momond is distributed under the terms of the GPL (GNU Public License ) and
  is my first contribution to the Linux world. 

  Major changes since version 1.0 are:

  *  Added an external config/tariff file for the telephone rates, so momond 
     works for whatever tel. company that uses rates based in connection 
     times, day of week and time of day.

  *  Replaced the awful tcl/tk script, for a nice xforms based program that
     monitors the time on-line, the cost ( lapsed and total ) , status of the 
     line and time left to the next 'tick'. 

  *  momond now logs in a file the total cost and time of all the connections

  *  Tariff class has been completely rewritten

  *  Now you can start your ppp/slip link by clicking on the status pixmap
     of xmomon.

  *  I have spend a lot of time trying to make the installation process more
     easy, the result is a make install option in the Makefile.

REQUIREMENTS
- ------------

  * a running Linux box
  * momond is a C++ program, you need the g++ lib to compile and run it
  * if you are planning to use xmomon  , you need xforms-0.81
  * a modem  :)

HISTORY
- -------
  Momond ( modem monitor daemon ) , was first  based in  momon-2.01  , 
  written by Klaus Luft ( Klaus.Luft@stud.uni-karlsruhe.de ). momon is 
  an X application that shows the status of the modem , the time it was
  online and the money spent. By the time I found momon I couldn't have 
  running  X11 all the time, so I made some changes in the program to 
  use it as a daemon that were running all the time in background.
  Since I noticed that there could be another people interested in such a
  program, I wrote some documentation,  added a few more features
  to momond, and made it available to the public domain.

INSTALLATION
- ------------

  1. Copy the file momond.conf.distr to momond.conf and edit it
  2. Compile it with 'make'
  3. Install it with 'make install'
  5. Start momond
  6. Start xmomon as well if you are under X11.


THANKS
- ------

  To Sandrah , Argos and other people of #linux in irc.arrakis.es , 
  who have tested momond/xmomon and have encouraged me to upload this
  final version.
