Re: seeing internet usage

I use kinternet to connect to the net using dial-up. Now as it is
pay-per-usage-time billing,

"Get some real bandwidth" would be my first suggestion. That may be
impractical depending on where you are geographically, or the local evil
incompetent cable/telco monopoly. (Over here in the Land of the Less
Free and the Home of the Peeing Ourselves Over Terrorists, ISPs
abandoned charge-per-minute dialup in the mid/late 1990s. YCountryMV.)

I wish to see how long have I been connected to the net. Kinternet
doesn't have any option for this!

kppp has had this since 1999. There are even "accounting rules" you can
set up within kppp that'll track how long you've been connected in some
logfile somewhere, and report "your telco bill will be $X". I don't
know exactly how you'd do that because I've never needed to do that, but
it's possible. HTH,
