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.

I don't need it either, but if other people do.. well.. but do leave the default to 'yes' to match the behaviour of all other drivers.

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).

Wouldn't that mean that eventually Kannel will reconnect ?
How does German users operate Kannel : start it up, the driver tries to connect, fails and shutdown. and then what do you do when you want the connection to be established in order to send an MT ?

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.

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.
