It works!!!  And I think I am starting to understand the configuration a little now.  
Thank you

It should be:

I am trying to have a permanent link between my 2 nodes.  I put the following in rpt.conf

[27360] 
startup_macro=*327383 

While it does bring up the link when the system starts, if there are any errors or if anything disrupts the connection then 27360 just says "disconnected" and never tries to re-establish the permanent link.

Is there another configuration command that I need so that this will re-connect after a disconnect? (such as when the 27383 system reboots)
