Hi Doug,

Nice to see you back answering all these questions again...:)

I was mistaken in saying that the link can be brought back up; it stays
dead...

What are the downsides to this?  I'd think it would be better to have the
link seen as up when it really isn't as opposed to down if it's really
up...  Do you have any further pointers on how to change this behaviour?

Thanks,

Charles
