If you like. Whatever is going to work for the general use case.

However, no matter how you finely tune it, no matter how you choose values,
there's always a chance of detection failure (which is OK), but falling
back to PPP is never going to be acceptable, certainly not in what I'm
building.  I don't need to be debugging such situations in the field;
there's no justification for it.

I'd prefer to pursue removing PPP dependency entirely as I'm doing;
that saves space, and reduces complexity. Let me know if is going
to be something that works for you.  I just wish I'd done this 6
months ago; would have saved myself a lot of grief.
