I would say that call setup for my centrex is less than half a second,
since I have been logged into the isdn router(Ascend 50) and done a hangup
on the MPP connection (the same one i was logged in) and was suprised to
find that basically that it looks like you were logged in locally (through
serial port on router) because connection box goes to C and then O almos
immediately i.e. the pause is so short between hangup-connect that I can't
really tell that a hangup occured
