.5 seconds is all a good modem needs. If the modem doesn't allow that
adjustment, IMHO, it isn't worth anything, it isn't a good modem.
Just like modems that forget their DTE speed or can't lock it at all. I
consider both a fatal flaw in the modem and would never use one that had
these problems.
Unfortunately some places just look at cost - for instance, several US post
offices have standardized on one modem brand - Zoom. Something I found out
along the way... And they don't understand why they have so many modem
problems...
