Re: Question about auto-rebinding

In a matter of fact, I am using a specific port. The port was  
assigned to us by the operator. Thus when they cut off our SMPP  
connection by switching off the network, we still keep the TCP  
connection (because Kannel isn't being restarted).  So when Kannel  
attempts to re-bind, it failed.I figure that's what happened?

Now the operator of course won't change their settings, all i can do  
is set up a workaround. How can I achieve this? Can Kannel tries to  
rebind from attempting the TCP socket connection again?
