Thanks very much Marc!

Well, using the answering machine (it is for people informing theirselfs,
like fax-polling service) I found out for the provider it is very
interesting how long the caller was listening. I could parse the logfile
for the beginning and the end of the call but mgetty/vgetty provides
that nice #####-line. Perhaps it could be a good idea to include playtime
there, Marc?

I imagine that as follows:

Or something like that. I did NOT analyzed the/your program-code good
enough (I'm sure the 'patch' is incomplete) so you can call the lines
above pseudo-code.
Please tell me what you think about.
