Using VB6

I would like to write a simple application to keep track of my internet
usage on my home network.

High speed telephone line and networks card hooked into gateway
(2-Wire model #RG2701GH-00 supplied with high speed telephone internet
access).

1 – Is it possible?
2 – How do I get access to the gateway?
3 – How do I get access to the telephone port of the gateway?

Background
I have been in touch with 2-wire and my service provider - they don't offer
any software.

Service provider does offer an online summary of usage – but always 3 days
behind.

I have seen many applications that monitor all network traffic (EG:
Netmeter) and some very complicated network monitoring tools that monitor
much more information than I need, but nothing in between.

Any help appreciated

By "gateway" I assume that you are talking about a modem/router.
These usually have a web interface (which you can access by
http://gateway_ip_address) and one of the status pages may include traffic
statisitics.
Many also have a telnet command line interface (CLI) where you can also pick
up statistics.
Either way you can access these statistics with a little VB programming.

Thank You
I will have to do some more checking.
I was able to access it through the ip address and there are some stats -
just not sure yet if the stats are for just the internet traffic or all
traffic passing through the modem/router.
