Redundancy is KEY to anyone who is operating an ONLINE environment IMO.
What if someone wanted to do it like the following:

  if binkp.tkdsoftware.com is not available then
    connect to binkp2.tkdsoftware.com
    if binkp2.tkdsoftware.com is not available then
      dial to 704-596-0938
      if connection failed on dialup, HOLD mail
      end if
    end if
  end if

It's really important for US who may be running both POTS and ION statuses
to be able to provide a means to give mailers a way to try to connect.
Providing some type of preference on connection would be great I think
too...  Thoughts?
