There's really no extremely accurate way on the DTE-side of the 
connection to know exactly when the remote answered the call and then 
exactly when the call was disconnected.  The best we can do is to start 
when we get the first connection response and then end when we get the 
OK after the hangup request.

Inevitably this measurement will be off by a number of seconds on each 
call.  If you need extremely accurate measurements for connection time I 
suggest that you get that data from elsewhere, if possible.  Otherwise, 
just add 5-10 seconds (you figure out the average difference) to each call.
