Instead of possibly going ahead and reinventing a wheel, I thought I would
ask the FreeBSD community.  I need a tool or script that takes the entries
in wtmp and produces information about a set of dialin ttys (ttyd*, in fact)
indicating usage, at the very least, and possibly more.  It's along the
lines of "last," but last doesn't give me exactly what I need.

I need it to justify the need for more ports, modems, and phonelines on
our dialin server (which is running FreeBSD, and which I managed to get to
run FreeBSD over Windows NT on the grounds that FreeBSD actually _works_).
I need a tool to summarize use of the three lines we have, to show that
they're actually busy most of the time.  I'll write it if I have to, but I
thought I would ask, first.  Someone out there is _bound_ to have written
something like this.
