I have modified tq/* and cgi-bin/who and cronbin/busy and lib/modemstat
all to use tq/classtable to determine what is a dialup line.  classtable
has been modified with a fourth "host pattern" field to allow the
determination based onthe incoming host reported in who output and
recorded in the wtmp file.  The "go who" output is a bit more flexible now
in that it reports the "in use"/"total" ratio for all classes of
connections -- no more hardwired modem and telnet connections.  This might
be handy, for example, for premium dialup or for express lines -- whatever
is configured in tq/classtable
