The *NOS SCC driver (from PE1CHL derivatives) implements a 'mute' or 'txhold'
time which is in essence the 1st slottime which is always waited on prior to
transmission. This allows the first delay to be totally different from
subsequent ones. My home brew TNC uses by default a slottime of 13 (130mS) and
a 1st wait of 35 (350mS) but they are all adjustable using kiss parameter 7
(non-standard value but supported under many *NOSes)
If its a KISS mode TNC you are using then its up to the TNC to implement it -
SCC can do it directly and hdlcdrv derived interfaces such as Baycom, g4xyw and
soundcard should also be 'tweakable' under Linux.
