Summary: ayttm can't connect if network changes on it

Initial Comment:
If running ayttm on a laptop, and you move networks,
when you try to reconnect with ayttm it won't ever
connect.  It looks like some network info is getting
cached or something.  It would be nice if the
application was more resilient to this.

that is due to libc. Lots of my network-using softs here do
the same (except firefox, dunno why)

If the socket collapses and the network I'm connecting from
doesn't change ayttm doesn't get hung, so clearly there is
reconnect code in there which can rebuild sockets.  The fact
that these sockets can't be rebuilt if the machine network
changes seems to indicate that some information about the
client network address is being cached by ayttm.  If it is,
that could be compared to current network configuration.  If
it isn't, I don't see why this would break.

was ayttm disconnected or did the network just change on it
and it doesn't know about it?

any ideas on how ayttm would know if all network connections
dropped?
