I'm guessing (but only guessing) that a direct network stream goes to state closed when the remote end closes the connection. But if ssh is involved, this does not happen. I think. I think you first have to send a byte to know that the connection is down. Tramp already looks if the process associated with the connection buffer is in state `run' or `open' and reopens the connection if not. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
