Thank you, Cary. We're a single-building, one-story library, about
15,000 sq. ft. Our patrons for the most part are online to check
email, surf da web, etc. To date, I don't think we've had problems
with major bandwidth hogs -- but I think we should be prepared for
this, so I appreciate the suggestion to consider data limits.

Our logging goals are to have the ability to track the number &
duration of sessions for a given time-frame. Information about device
types & bandwidth use would be nice, but is not essential.
