G'day Rob!

 RH> Can anyone tell me why I can't set my S6 register to 2 seconds?



Because the manufacturer doesn't want you to.



 RH> I have an Ellcon 14.4 fax/data modem which works perfectly except for

 RH> value of 005 (5seconds).



Similarly, NetComm modems can only be set as low as 4 seconds.  And only up

to a maximum of 7 seconds - a very narrow margin.



I also find this annoying as 2 seconds is usually long enough to get a dial

tone from the exchange, particularly the newer AXE or S-12 digital exchanges.



 RH> I can s.t it higher than 5 but not lower, which is a problem for some

 RH> fax software!! Cheers, Rob:-)



I've never had any problem with the 4 second delay when using any fax

software, DOS or Windows.  I suggest that the problem lies elsewhere.
