    1.  Yes, TCP/IP will survive line outages.  All implementations should
	allow at least a minute or two of outage before deciding the line
	is down hard.

    2.  If your DDS line is giving problems, find the DDS control point and
	talk to them.  (This can be a non-trivial problem; it once took me
	three hours on the phone to find out that our Dearborn MI to Palo
	Alto, CA link was controlled from Cleveland, OH.  And this was
	before deregulation.)

    3.  If you have lots of DDS lines, get your own control point.
