It can't just be on interface type, as I have metered connections on all interface types, so presumably you use some form of web service to distinguish "metered" from "unmetered" based on a list of known IP blocks? Or do you simply assume that all connections are metered until the user says otherwise? -- Simon Farnsworth _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
