The permanent connection is more of a persistent connection.<br>
Using a normal connection will work but eventually the connection
may drop due to internet latency (auto congest) or other reasons.<br>
If you normally are connected to another node on a full time basis
then the perm connection may be desirable.<br>
<br>
What it does is keeps your node connected to the other node. If
there is a loss of network connection it will re establish the
connection automatically when the internet recovers.<br>
This is only true if both nodes are up an running. <br>
<br>
If a node was restarted or rebooted then the connection will have
made manually. <br>
If you want the connection to be made if a node is restarted then
set up a macro to establish the perm connection. Then define a
startup macro in your node stanza to call the macro to connect the
two nodes when the node starts.<br>
