I'll second that.  I'd like about 30 seconds here, I think, altho sometimes it 
seems to long, here, maybe a minute, now.  Mdk 9.1 Cooker, PAN 0.13.3.  I'd 
be OK w/ it just being a config file edit only, if I knew it was there and 
what it was.

A helpful bit might be to put a new status in the task list, such that if a 
connection fails, the list then shows something like "trying, 30s" on the 
item that it will try next for that failed connection.  Of course, time 
count-down would be nice, but not absolutely necessary, the idea being to 
give the user a bit of feedback so he knows PAN itself isn't stuck there.

Talking about feedback...  But let me start another thread with this, separate 
suggestion I have cooking..
