## NAME

- 7\.)

  fee per news (*0*),

- 8\.)

- 9\.)

  *1* if you want to round up each transferred kB up (pessimistic calculation on the ISP's size), or\
   *0* if you want to calculate the cost based on the real aizes (calculation on real traffic).

## EXAMPLE

```
# uutraf configuration file
#
#        [------------------------provider---------------------] [----ptt---]
# host   c/min f/file f/(f*kB) f/mail f/(m*kB) f/news f/(n*kB) m c/call c/min
#
obastrlx 0.0                   0.0    0.0                        0.10   0.12
luna	 0.0   0.0    0.0                                        0.00   0.00
```

Note that the local host *luna* has an entry too (filled with zeroes); this prevents [*uutraf*(1)](/uutraf/1.md) to issue an warning message about an unknown host. The cost figure is in local currency (eg. Dollars); [*uutraf*(1)](/uutraf/1.md) assumes that calls are only done during one tariffary period (eg. all low rate calls).
