If I remember right, the average connect time was between 3 and 4
seconds. I just wanted to give myself some wiggle-room. And one of my
two servers was on a slow link.

Of course, instead of waiting a fix amount of time, you could easily
code some test into the dialplan to determine whether the remote end
is up yet. Could be as easy as "System(ping -c 1 -W 300 target_IP")
and use the return code (1 if it couldn't ping the remote end) to help
decide where to branch: into the Dial statement or another one second
Wait().

Never needed to go beyond a 10 sec Wait in my setup.
