We allow simultaneous concurrent connections if the the customer needs and
pays for this feature.

The only difficulty I see in the above is the "overdraft protection". I am
not certain how I would do this, but, I feel that it cound be accomplished
by some scheduled procedure which would monitor calls online for a
particular username at some given interval.

Total calls for the month, as well as other statistical info regarding the
account is always available to any of my customers directly from our
website. It is not difficult to do!

We have created our own "billing software" through Access '97 as the front
end to MS SQL Server. We are able to create or modify a billing module to
customize the billing to the customers needs. We then run a macro which
executes all of the billing modules.
My request was more specific. I want to be able to automatically notify
users which DO NOT have multiple logon ability of the fact that they are
trying to do just that :)
