RE: [REPOST] [PATCH] emi2 reconnection behaviour

I'd suggest to set the default of retry as 'yes', as most users do use EMI over TCP/IP.

Subject: RE: [REPOST] [PATCH] emi2 reconnection behaviour


Ok, sounds reasonable for me. I didn't know that fact for Germany.
 
So I can resubmit the patch, keeping the "retry" directive, with "no" as default (as it is actually), and fix the behaviour with a "reconnect-delay" directive, with a 10 seconds default.
 
Is this ok?
 
Angel.

This is definitively wrong for users in Germany as the german carriers don't allow connectivity over the internet usually but only over 2Mbps permanent leased line (very expensive) or ISDN dial-on demand dialup to a private network.

I think we simply should fix the existing behaviour instead of inventing another new one.
