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".
