>Yep, sure is, but I have had wireless connections that wouldn't work , even with TS. A basic scan found heaps of spectrum interference.
But then nothing would work on such networks, right? And TS has a timeout. If you get disconnected, it waits (20 min or thereabouts is the last default I remember) and doesn't close your app before it times out in case you reconnect.
OTOH, you're right, I don't see why we'd have to write workarounds for hardware problems. I've seen even wired networks which were unreliable - welding, X-ray machines and few other sources operating in the vicinity of network cables can really ruin your connection. Or fry the NICs, as it happened sometimes.
