I may have mis-understood this one.  The phone is responsible
for requesting/sending the keep-alive.  The channel just needs
to record it.  

minor:

Trivial fix, send a time update from do_housekeeping.  No patch,
but instructions on how to do it on Mantis.  If no one submits
one, I do the patch (literally two new lines)

Another trivial issue.  Comment out one line in do_housekeeping

I'd like to see a new core API to lookup a destination peer and
pluck the Caller-ID values from it.  It would require new callback
functions in supported channels, but fairly trivial code.  
Otherwise I agree that it works as designed and is useful.

I suppose I could test it.  I need a dead number to check with...
My Native bridging code might help there (but it appears to have
introduced a hangup problem since I last worked on it)
