### Connection

How Cantrip connects to your chosen MU* server.

- Server Address: The address for the MU* server, such as `muck.netro.com.au`.
- Port Number: The port number for the MU* server. This can vary from server to server; the default one is `23`.
- Connect on open: Connects to the MU* server automatically when the World (connection document) is opened.
- Auto-reconnection

  Cantrip can re-connect you automatically to your MU* server under conditions you specify in this section.

  Auto-reconnection: Tells Cantrip to try reconnecting under the following conditions:

  - Connection was dropped by host: Reconnects if the MU* server bumps you off.
  - Connection could not be established: [Editor's note: ???]
  - Connection was manually terminated: [Editor's note: ???]
  - I log off the server: [Editor's note: ???]

  [Editor's note: I'm not sure just what these options are for -- reconnect when you disconnect accidentally? And how does it tell when you log off the server?]

  Retry every `<interval>`: Sets how long Cantrip waits before reconnecting; applies to all the options above. with a maximum of `<number>` tries tells Cantrip how many attempts to make.
