# 4.6. Accounting

Accounting Setup

  Use the ``Enable accounting'' button to enable/disable phone cost accounting. Select a rule appropriate for your region. If you can't find a rule for your region you will have to write one by following the supplied `TEMPLATE` in `${KDEDIR}/share/doc/HTML/en/kppp/`. Don't be afraid though it is really easy. Don't forget to submit your newly created rules file to me. The newly created rules file can be checked for valid syntax with the -r rule_file command line option to kppp and must be installed in `${KDEDIR}/share/apps/kppp/Rules` or in `${HOME}/.kde/share/apps/kppp/Rules` before you will be able to select it in this dialog.
