Trunks Busy

<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>This breaks down each business day into half-hour periods, showing the
maximum and average number of telephone lines in use in any
particular half-hour.  You can opt to exclude weekends, when perhaps
not many calls are being made or received, and so as not to distort
the averages.  You can also concentrate on incoming or outgoing
calls.</p>
