I don't have an answer. I just wanted to say I wasn't thinking of
school work as I read this. I was thinking more like... paranoia, lol!
Not in a "bad" way but in a system protecting way. With everything
that's going on about hacking and cracking, knowing what's calling
what sounds like a nice, SANITY enabling idea. Bonus points if it can
be taught to throw out alerts about any unusual calls once a
longstanding "normal" pattern is discerned.
