I came up with an easy solution for this one, figured I'd post it to the 
group in case anyone else was interested.

I'm trying to set up a permanent connection to another node to link 2
repeaters at different sites together. My node has macros set up to allow
easy connection to other area nodes ie: (Macro 13 = *33353296#) To make
things easier for the users, I would like to use the "disconnect all" to
disconnect any nodes they may connect to, while still leaving the permanent
connection in place. It does not work that way unfortunately, as it drops
ALL connections (as the name implies). So here are my questions:
Can a "permanent" connection truly be made permanent?
And/or
I would like to setup a macro to connect to a node, but then have that same
macro also disconnect that node if entered again (think toggle on/off). I'm
thinking something similar to the rotating ID script I've seen around. Is
this a plausible solution? What other ways could I accomplish this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
