Yes, that would probably be the best way to do this so I'll reimplement our
system to use this when we have internet connection problems.

You still have to address the issue of setting your sending sequence

I don't think this can happen since the seqnums are stored after we've
logged out from FIX which means no more messages are received. However, if
it does happen I guess you can always bump up the seqnums manually just to
be able to logon.
