Post subject: Staying connected to a biller

I'm running a zone connected to CypherJF's Accede biller. It's not perfect yet and locks up occasionally. Anyways... question is not about his biller, it's about reconnecting to it. Whenever the biller goes down subgame kicks my bots out and attempts to reconnect 4 times, then gives up. What I'm looking for is how to keep my zone connected and my bots happy, and then get it to restore the connection whenever the biller returns. I've noticed SSC zones do this. How? Cypher mentioned they might use a proxy? Is there a generic biller proxy available? If not, any ideas?

Accede has been dropping me too unless I use only the 'billing' module. 'billing_ssc' doesn't connect (and actually disconnects 'billing')

Ah I see it now too.. let me look into it.

But Arry has a question as to whether or not subgame has a way to keep retrying to connect to biller?

Edit: Accede processes weren't running on the box causing it not to connect in the first place. I think it should be okay now?

CZ?

So far it's good; but only 2 zone's are connected. I'm curious if more VIE protocol enabled zones connect cause it to deadlock.

Try switching to ASSS?
