  Hello all.  One of my tty ports is hooked to a modem on which customers 
can call.  Some of them are over-staying their welcome on this modem.  Is 
there a way I can limit their online time?  I thought of cron'ing a 
shell script that would grep and parse the process table and act on the 
info accordingly.  Better ideas, anyone?  Thanks.  Cam
