(I tried emailing you but it bounced.  Besides, there might be
others interested in untamo.)

Depending on modem, there is probably and s-register for this.  My USR
modems, for example, let you put in the number of minutes of idle time
that you want and it will disconnect after that amount of time.

Alternatively, you can get untamo (ask archie for location) and it will
automatically logout users who exceed a certain idle time (it can do many
other things, supposedly--I don't use it myself).

Good luck!
