          <c><![CDATA[max_retries]]></c> has the value <c><![CDATA[infinity_restartable]]></c>, 
          it means that the timer is restartable as long as some 
          external event occurs (e.g. receipt of a pending 
          message for instance). But the timer will never be
          restarted "by itself", i.e. when the timer expires 
          (whatever the timeout time), so does the timer. 
          Whenever the timer is restarted, the timeout time will 
          be calculated in the usual way! Also, as mentioned 
          above, beware the consequences of setting the value to
          <c><![CDATA[infinity]]></c> if <em>incr</em> has been set to an 
          negative value.</p>

        <p>Establish a "virtual" connection</p>
        <p>Activates a connection to a remote user. When this is done
          the connection can be used to send messages (with
          SendMod:send_message/2). The ControlPid is the identifier
          of a process that controls the connection. That process will
          be supervised and if it dies, this will be detected and the
          UserMod:handle_disconnect/2 callback function will be
          invoked. See the megaco_user module for more info about the
          callback arguments. The connection may also explicitly be
          deactivated by invoking megaco:disconnect/2.</p>
        <p>The ControlPid may be the identity of a process residing on
          another Erlang node. This is useful when you want to
          distribute a user over several Erlang nodes. In such a case
          one of the nodes has the physical connection. When a user
          residing on one of the other nodes needs to send a request
          (with megaco:call/3 or megaco:cast/3), the message will
          encoded on the originating Erlang node, and then be
          forwarded to the node with the physical connection. When the
          reply arrives, it will be forwarded back to the originator.
          The distributed connection may explicitly be deactivated by
          a local call to megaco:disconnect/2 or implicitly when
          the physical connection is deactivated (with megaco:disconnect/2,
          killing the controlling process, halting the other node, ...).</p>
        <p>The call of this function will trigger the callback
          function UserMod:handle_connect/2 to be invoked. See the
          megaco_user module for more info about the callback
          arguments.</p>
        <p>A connection may be established in several ways:</p>

          <tag><c><![CDATA[upgrade preliminary MID]]></c></tag>
          <item>
            <p>The MG may explicitly invoke megaco:connect/4 with the
              atom 'preliminary_mid' as a temporary MID of the MGC,
              send an intial message, the Service Change Request, to
              the MGC and then wait for an initial message, the
              Service Change Reply. When the reply arrives, the Megaco
              application will pick the MID of the MGC from the
              message header and automatically upgrade the connection
              to be a "normal" connection. By using this method of
              establishing the connection, the callback function
              UserMod:handle_connect/2 to be invoked twice. First with
              a ConnHandle with the remote_mid-field set to
              preliminary_mid, and then when the connection upgrade is
              done with the remote_mid-field set to the actual MID of
              the MGC.</p>

              in the "normal" state. The RemoteMid must be a real

        <p>Process a received message</p>

        <p>This function is intended to be invoked by some
          transport modules when get an incoming message. Which
          transport that actually is used is up to the user to
          choose.</p>

        <p>The message is delivered as an Erlang binary and is decoded
          by the encoding module stated in the receive handle together
          with its encoding config (also in the receive
          handle). Depending of the outcome of the decoding various
          callback functions will be invoked. See megaco_user for more
          info about the callback arguments.</p>

        <p>The argument <c>Extra</c> is just an opaque data structure passed to the user 
          via the callback functions in the 
          <seealso marker="megaco_user">user callback module</seealso>. 
          Note however that if <c>Extra</c> has the value 
          <c>extra_undefined</c> the argument will be ignored (same as if 
          <c>process_received_message/4</c> had been called). 
          See the documentation for the behaviour of the callback module,
          <seealso marker="megaco_user">megaco_user</seealso>, for more info. </p> 
        <p>Note that all processing is done in the context of the calling 
          process. A transport module could call this function via one of the
          <c><![CDATA[spawn]]></c> functions (e.g. <c><![CDATA[spawn_opt]]></c>). See also 
          <c><![CDATA[receive_message/4,5]]></c>.
          </p>
        <p>If the message cannot be decoded the following callback
          function will be invoked:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
          <item>
            <p>UserMod:handle_syntax_error/3</p>
          </item>
        </list>
        <p>If the decoded message instead of transactions contains a
          message error, the following callback function will be
          invoked:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
          <item>
            <p>UserMod:handle_message_error/3</p>
          </item>
        </list>
        <p>If the decoded message happens to be received before the
          connection is established, a new "virtual" connection is
          established. This is typically the case for the Media
          Gateway Controller (MGC) upon the first Service Change.
          When this occurs the following callback function will be
          invoked:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
          <item>
            <p>UserMod:handle_connect/2</p>
          </item>
        </list>
        <p>For each transaction request in the decoded message the
          following callback function will be invoked:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
          <item>
            <p>UserMod:handle_trans_request/3</p>
          </item>
        </list>
        <p>For each transaction reply in the decoded message the reply
          is returned to the user. Either the originating function
          megaco:call/3 will return.  Or in case the originating
          function was megaco:case/3 the following callback function
          will be invoked:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
          <item>
            <p>UserMod:handle_trans_reply/4</p>
          </item>
        </list>
        <p>When a transaction acknowledgement is received it is
          possible that user has decided not to bother about the
          acknowledgement. But in case the return value from
          UserMod:handle_trans_request/3 indicates that the
          acknowledgement is important the following callback function
          will be invoked:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
          <item>
            <p>UserMod:handle_trans_ack/4</p>
          </item>
        </list>
