Only if your ISP supports that. Not all do. Some will fail to give the
information you require from the ISP, other ISPs will hang up immediately.
If your ISP is usable with permanent DNS settings in your configuration,
doing so should help with reconnections. Again, this doesn't work with
all ISPs, because some ISPs answer each call with different equipment, and
you may not always use the same DNS server.

These apply no matter which way you're trying to do a re-connect, if you
don't want the MODEM to hang up, when your Amiga serial port goes off.
However, the message says the person "can't" hang up their MODEM without
switching it off, so they've probably already got similar &D settings.
But, not having the "use CD" selected sounds likely, as the reason for not
being able to do a re-connect. Both are essential, for reconnecting.
I've have had Miami get stuck for ages, with a similar situation, but I
can't recall a total lock up.
