     ppplist = file.readlines()

     for line in ppplist:

       if string.find(line,"LayerUp") >= 0:
           print "found connect"
           connectline = string.split(line)
           connectcount = connectcount + 1

       elif string.find(line,"ERROR") >= 0:
           print "found error"
           errorcount = errorcount + 1

        elif string.find(line,"Connect time") >= 0:
           print "found close"
connectSecs=secondsMatcher.search(line).group(1)
           print "Connected for",connectSecs
          closeline = string.split(line)
           secondscount = secondscount + string.atoi(connectSecs)

 def main():
    f=open("C:/my documents/ppp.log","r")
     getStuff(f)
     return None

 if __name__=="__main__":
     main()

 THIS IS WHAT I NEED THE PROGRAM TO DO:

 I want the program to read the attached ppp.log file and give me the
 following type of report:
