This brings me to another interesting idea... how many ISPs wardial their
own POPs and check call completion stats from a user's point of view?
(e.g. call, connect, authenticate, disconnect, log results -- constantly).
I only know of one large ISP (not us, at least not now) that does that,
and the data is interesting.
