On a related topic, does anybody know if any of the cid programs for Linux
support logging the call time? I'm trying to figure out a way to count up
the total number of minutes that my phone is in use (incoming and outgoing;
local and long distance) and Qwest won't give me that info without a
subpoena. Now I know that my modem can get the CID info without answering
the phone, but can it figure out how long the phone is active?
