SUMMARY:Web Server Statistics

From: Craig Ledbetter (cledbett@homeaccount.com)

Hi all,
        Here is my much belated summary on Web Server stats tools.
Unfortunatly I have yet to find a tool that reports everything I need.
I could use a combination of tools, but differences in data reporting is
an issue. I have finally decided to write my own tool, cause the boss
and marketing people want customized information. Go figure.

Orginial question:
