Thanks for your prompt reply and suggestion. Consideration of a (more
complicated) non-blocking connect() scheme depends on whether you
think an interruptible connect() call might actually be coded at some
point. If its the sort of thing that would be a good idea in an ideal
world, but which probably will not get done under current circumstances
(i.e., too hard for the small return), then the complications of
non-blocking connect would have to be considered. Otherwise, I prefer
to wait in hope.
Your clarification on this point would be appreciated -- even if its
"I don't know".
Regards,
Eric
