[Ekiga-list] automatic reconnecting

[Laurent Jacques]

Not a helpful message but just... I agree with you Mark. This seems a 
interesting but missing feature for Ekiga. A wish for next version.

To take a comparison with another program (not VoIP but), gaim is able 
to reconnect to the network either manually or automatically if the 
connection is lost whatever is the protocol/account.

Best,
Laurent
