    I originally asked this question because of a user who calls in,
then goes out to dinner, or something.  I just wanted to be able to
detect whether, in fact, there was *any* activity on the line. 

    After R'ing TFM, I found register S41 on the trailblazer plus, which
allows setting an inactivity timer by tenths of hours.  This is exactly
what I needed.  Thanks to those who replied, and/or posted.
