Topic: Limiting Dial up retries...

[Andy MacDonald]

Hello All.
I'm a satisfied E-smith V5 user. I've had absolutely no problems my end, but my ISP has some connectivity problems. I'm set to "Permanent Connection" via dial up. One day my e-smith box made 140 phone calls before finally getting connected. Is there a way to make the server wait for an hour or so before redialing after an unsuccessful attempt?
