Not in conserver.

I did this buy using tip instead of conserver's serial feature.  I have 
my own version of tip and I added code to it that allowed me to specify 
on the command line the number of seconds to send a SNMP trap if there 
is no data seen on the RX line of the port.  My tip also does an alarm 
if it sees a loss of DCD.  The device that is being monitored is wired 
to tie its DTR into my DCD.
