I've never considered the renaming could be used like that. Thank you!

I use a "two portal system" at home base as my portal hub. One portal--the "open portal"-- is always left disconnected as standard protocol. The other is the "dial-out" portal. My remote portals are named "base#". When a remote portal doesn't have the dial-out portal's entered address, the open portal is dialed. Then the remote portal is returned to its new or existing address just before stepping through. Saves having to have a special warehouse for portals.
