RE: [REPOST] [PATCH] emi2 reconnection behaviour

Oded, that's exactly what I did in my patch and wanted to do.... I even
removed the "retry" option, as the rest of drivers....but it seems not
everybody agrees with that :-(

I think the "retry" directive is a bad idea, whatever it defaults to.

If you don't want a reconnection, you just can set the "reconnect-delay" to
a very high value, and you're done (as in the rest of drivers).

So I guess we need consensus here.

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

    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.

        Then we could mark it as a compatibility-breaker in the next
release. I think there are much more people using it over direct tcp links
than dialup ones.



      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.
