The programmers for BOINC need to recognize that an internet connection request does not happen instantly on a dial-up service. BOINC at my location spends a lot of time spinning its wheels by requesting hookup and then giving up before a connection is established over...and over...and over, etc. Allow a few seconds (perhaps as much as 5 or even 10) to allow the connection to be established.

From what I can remember of the time I was on dialup, 20 seconds of "chatter" before establishing a connection would not be too much, so even setting it at 30 seconds would be helpful.
