# 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
# onto the trunk, just the local exchange.
#
# Note all values here include Value-Added Tax at 21% current
# at 31-Dec-1999

# Define IEP (Irish Pounds) to be used as currency symbol
# ??? There is no way to define the currency code AND the symbol !!!
# WARNING this will have to be changed to EUR from 2002-01-01
currency_symbol=£
# Define the position of the currency symbol.
# (not absolutely needed, default is "right")
# ??? Curious default, why not left, which is _way_ more common? !!!
currency_position=left

# NOTE: rules are applied from top to bottom - the

# cost computations.
# It costs 11.5p the moment a call connects. This covers the first
# 450 secs (peak hours, 8am-6pm M-F) or first 15 mins (off-peak)
per_connection=0.115
# Therefore the minimum cost is the same as the per-connection cost
minimum_costs=0.115
# Therefore the first 450 secs costs this much no matter what.
flat_init_costs=(0.115,450)
# 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 450 secs (peak hours) or 11.5p for 15mins
# (off-peak), which works out at £0.00025556/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 20 secs
# (0.115 / 450 = 0.00025556 / 0.005 = 0.051111 inv = 19.56521)
# 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...
default=(0.00511,20)
# PEAK-TIME CALLS are 8am to 6pm Mon-Fri, so after flat_init_costs
