# standardised, and varies depending upon the OS. Setting this number too small
# will result in false negatives, as the entire message gets buffered. Setting
# this number too large will result in false positives, when it takes more than
# 2 seconds to transmit the message anyway. This number was arrived at by
# trial-and-error.
