As one example; if you use Hayes modems at both ends and you set them up with a command like: AT S10=30 then both ends should wait 3 seconds before hanging up, which would probably be sufficient. The default setting on the Hayes is 7 or 7-tenths of a second. I haven't tried this stuff but it seems like it should work okay.
