when using single IP NAT, the pipeline assumes that when the ISDN link drops,
it should close all IP sessions, because you will usually get a different 
IP address the next time you connect.

_IF_ your ISP or Corporate dialin is set to give you the same
single static IP everytime you connect, you can prevent this with:
        Ethernet->NAT->NAT->Reuse last addr=Yes
        and                 Reuse addr timeout=0

(I am using 5.1A, don't know when these parameters appeared).
