No, that looks pretty good to me.  In my getty (heavily modified), I
have:

  if (slowmodem)
    {
    sleep (slowmodem);					    /* give modem a chance to wake up */
    tcflush (i, TCIFLUSH);				    /* and throw out any junk */
    }

>From the man page:

-S [delay] causes getty to delay <delay> seconds after connection has
           been established.  This is for use with modems which are
           not ready to communicate with the remote site as soon as
           they are connected.  <delay> may be omitted and defaults to
           2.
