I would appreciate any recommendations for software that provides
summary statistics and reports on dial-in usage _by password_
of a UNIX network.
Please respond to me including producer address/phone
if possible. I would be happy to prepare summary.

Regarding your questions about OCLC access. OCLC cataloging
module is NOT available via the Internet. Only EPIC and FirstSearch
are available on the Internet. OCLC did a study and will send it
to you if you ask. Basically, the addressing problems of sending
messages back and forth to the proper address was a very great
obstacle.
OCLC via a LAN is another issue. At the recent CIL conference
there was a session that dealt with that issue. I don't remember
who spoke, but it was a large academic setting, and he got into
some fairly detailed analysis about hardware, software, protocols,
etc. I think I have a few notes about this and I can look for them
in the next few days if that would be helpful. I probably don't
have the person's name who spoke, however. Maybe someone else
on the net will remember (or he might speak up for himself!)
