I'm using a compination of MRTG and pmwho to graph my modem pool usage.
(See http://www.brainiac.com/pool/ ) I'm currently writing a webpage
that gives the how-to, so please don't ask me for the scripts - I'll post
when it's ready for distribution.

I based it on Chris Johnson's posts on how to implement it, which were
in this group a few months ago. You can check the archives for them if
you're in a hurry.
