divide by 60 for minutes and 3600 for hours (but you knew
that I guess!).

eg. (only shows integer values but you get the idea)

  if [ $connect_time -lt 61 ]; then
    echo "connected for $connect_time seconds"
  elif [ $connect_time -gt 60 -a $connect_time -lt 3601 ]; then
    connect_minutes=`expr $connect_time '/' 60`
    echo "connected for $connect_minutes minutes"
  else 
    connect_hours=`expr $connect_time '/' 3600`
    echo "connected for $connect_hours hours"
  fi

to do H:M:S you need to get more fancy with mods and remainders
and so on (mod is "%" in sh, not sure about remainder).
