It can be done, you are gonna have to find software thought but i would think you are gonna have to run a gateway that all pc's link though. U will be able to monitor it that way. will have a look for the software and will get back on that.

Looking for software/ hardware solution to restrict network users from using more than say 100 MB per day ... have 7 users. Can this be done

Check IPCop and Smoothwall.
Most probably cheaper to buy another login to download the bandwidth you require without management.
South Africa needs World Class Broadband at World Competitive Prices.

yes it can be done the approach i used was to traffic shape ADSL on a kinux box to 64kbs this is equivelent to a 64kbs diginet and adequate for most ... the other thing is a strict FW with no ability for P2P and implementing a web proxy every 5% helps

If you wish to provide high speed but with a 100MB a day cap look at using traffic accounting.
I'd suggest you use a simple firewall with accounting enabled eg - shorewall.net. Then run a script every couple of minutes to check totals... when the user hits to 100MB total you update the firewall rule blocking access...
