Phone Monitor is a Windows 95 freeware program which logs calls and keeps a running total of costs.

The Americans have had free local calls for years, and telephone companies there still make a good profit. Also, most of the local cable companies in Britian are American owned, so it seems jvjn more wrong for them!

No charge for local calls would jam telephone lines solid and make it virtually impossible to log-on to an ESP.
