It's actually an artifact of the net3 spec. versus how we indicate the
status of the link. In Net3, the logical link is destroyed after a call
is completed and reconstructed on the next incoming/outgoing call. Since
our display indicator of logical-link-down is the ".", that's what will
show in the "inactivity" time.
Aron was referring to ISDN-2, which I didn't think dropped the logical
link like Net-3 does? (I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong :)
