just calling /connect manually will try to connect back to the same
server/port[ssl] with the same username/password.

it can be automated easily by calling (ft-connect) in the disconnection
handler as a new extension

An example of the versatility of freetalk is - the freetalk prompt
itself is a scheme interpreter. Any line which is not understood by
freetalk is treated like a scheme expession. So even after you are
connected to your jabber server and chatting with your buddies, you can
create a new reconnection feature seamlessly like this -

~\/~ address@hidden last message you sent
~\/~ (add-hook! ft-disconnect-hook (lambda (reason) (ft-connect)))
~\/~ address@hidden continue messaging

and the new 'reconnection feature' got added on in runtime even without
distrubing your IM session.
