If the modem is used as the primary means of data delivery it may be that the modem is in
use all the time (when there are very large amounts of data to send). Since the modem is
also used for administration of the ip.buffer it is advantageous to allow a known “window”
when you can always dial-in.
During the exclusion time period the ip.buffer will not perform any new dial-out attempts.
If the modem is in use when the exclusion time comes into force, the modem manager task
will request that all delivery tasks finish their work early so the modem can be hung up
soon.
Be aware that the dial-out exclusion time is based on the ip.buffer’s local
clock. There may be clock-drift over periods of weeks and months. This clock
drift can be eliminated by using SNTP (section 8.2.2)
