Depends on the error and whether it is considered a permanent or temporary
situation.  For example, if the error is "Refused - Management Blocking,"
it would make sense for the ASP to reattempt ASP UP periodically.  If the
error is something like "Parameter Field Error," it is a permanent condition
and a reattempt is likely to acheive the same effect.  Nevertheless, it is
possible to reattempt periodically and inform management, and perhaps after
a number of reattempts give up.  This is all rather implementation dependent.
