+# This is a kppp ruleset for Eircom (formerly Telecom Eireann)
+# for special-rate Internet 1891 calls ONLY.
+#
+# Unbelievably, Eircom has now dropped the former (ludicrously
+# irrelevant) distance-based charge-bands on direct-dialled calls.
+# They still remain for operator-connected calls but these are
+# (a) a rarity and (b) unusable for modems anyway. Calls in Ireland
+# are therefore in one of the following categories:
+#
+# 1. Local calls
+# 2. Special-rate Internet calls (ISPs with 1891 numbers)
+# 3. National calls (ie all other trunk or long-distance calls)
+#
+# Note that some Telcos offer special deals of a fixed-rate per-month
+# charge which gives you unlimited, uncharged local calls in off-peak
+# times. At other times, your standard Telco rates apply.
+#
+# "Local" is as hard to define as in any other Telco administration,
+# as it can cross area codes, even when they are in different regions,
+# in order to allow people to call their neighbours 100 yards away
+# even though they may technically be in an area code which would
+# normally qualify as "long-distance", because such calls don't go

+# This is a kppp ruleset for Eircom (formerly Telecom Eireann)
+# for a special Esat deal of £17/month flat rate to get you their
+# ISP calls uncharged and unrated evenings and weekends. Other times
+# they cost a regular phone call from your Telco (eg Eircom)
+#
+# Unbelievably, Eircom has now dropped the former (ludicrously
+# irrelevant) distance-based charge-bands on direct-dialled calls.
+# They still remain for operator-connected calls but these are
+# (a) a rarity and (b) unusable for modems anyway. Calls in Ireland
+# are therefore in one of the following categories:
+#
+# 1. Local calls
+# 2. Special-rate Internet calls (ISPs with 1891 numbers)
+# 3. National calls (ie all other trunk or long-distance calls)
+#
+# Note that some Telcos offer special deals of a fixed-rate per-month
+# charge which gives you unlimited, uncharged local calls in off-peak
+# times. At other times, your standard Telco rates apply. *THIS FILE*
+#
+# "Local" is as hard to define as in any other Telco administration,
+# as it can cross area codes, even when they are in different regions,
+# in order to allow people to call their neighbours 100 yards away
+# even though they may technically be in an area code which would
+# normally qualify as "long-distance", because such calls don't go
+# onto the trunk, just the local exchange.
+#
+# Note all values here include Value-Added Tax at 21% current
+# at 31-Dec-1999

+
+# NOTE: rules are applied from top to bottom - the
+#       LAST matching rule is the one used for the
+#       cost computations.
+
+# It costs 11.5p the moment a call connects. This covers the first
+# 3 mins (peak hours, 8am-6pm M-F) or first 15 mins (off-peak)
+# For this special deal, this should be covered by the rules below
+per_connection=0.0
+
+# Therefore the minimum cost is the same as the per-connection cost
+minimum_costs=0.0
+
+# Therefore the first 180 secs costs this much no matter what.
+flat_init_costs=(0,0)
+# A pity there's no peak/offpeak differential for this one.
+
+# All subsequent charging is done per-second, based on the unit
+# charge of 11.5p for 3mins (peak hours) or 11.5p for 15mins
+# (off-peak), which works out at £0.000638889/sec and £0.000127778p/sec
+# respectively...that's what they claim, anyway.
+
+# Rather than expect kppp to check the rate every second and add
+# tiny fractions, I've expressed these rates in terms of the amount
+# needed to clock up half a penny (or the closest amount exceeding
+# that value obtainable by multiplying the per-second rate by an
+# integer). Not a whole penny, because you may be damn certain the
+# bean-counters will round up half-penny amounts to the nearest
+# whole penny anyway (anal-retentive, are we? :-)
+
+# Thus the base rate for peak-time calls is £0.005111 for 8 secs
+# (0.115 / 180 = 0.000638889 / 0.005 = 0.127778 inv = 7.8261)
+# and off-peak is £0.005111  for 40 secs 
+# (0.115 / 900 = 0.000127778 / 0.005 = 0.25556 inv = 39.1304)
+# so accounting should happen in approx 1/2p increments...
+
+# OK, here we go...
+
+# Because of the need to detect time-of-day as well as initial-period, 
+# this default should never actually get applied, but we assume that
+# connections are made in the peak rate period...
