36 * reconnect to problematic FADs
37 *
38 * Dis- and Reconnects to FADs, found to be problematic by call-back function
39 * onchange() to have a different CONNECTION value than 66 or 67.
40 *
41 * @returns
42 * a boolean is returned.
43 * reconnect returns true if:
44 * * nothing needed to be reset --> no problems found by onchange()
45 * * the reconnection went fine.
46 *
47 * reconnect *never returns false* so far.
48 *
49 * @example
50 * if (!sub_connections.reconnect())
51 * exit();
