Upon experimentation I have found that, for conversations, setting the
number of seconds to something like 7-10 (and to pick up the phone as soon
as the number is dialed) is best since once I pick up the phone and begin
talking I frequently had feedback from my computer into the phone line if
both the computer and phone were on the line. (PowerBook FireWire.)
YMMV
