IIRC, the actual text in modem manuals (at least Austel-approved
modem manuals) is something to the effect that your first retry
should be held off for 60 seconds, then later ones for three minutes,
with a maximum of 3 retries.  Plus some other stuff about it being
naughty to do otherwise, and they might take away your modem...
