Summary does either display or log each web connection to it's web based 
report interface. On Windows (standard) and Mac (Carbon) these are 
displayed in the console window. In the other versions they are written 
to a file called "./data/summary.log". This reporting is not in one of 
the standard formats however.

Failed access attempts are displayed. They tend to be rare.

It would be nice if Summary wrote an access log that it could analyze. 
The current format is missing a lot of the information you would need. I 
will add that to the wish list.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
