One simpler possibility is to use `tcp-connect/enable-break` and run a
timer in parallel to break it after a shorter delay.
For example:
(define-values (in out) (values #f #f))
(define connect-thread
(thread
(λ()(set!-values (in out)
(tcp-connect "www.google.com" 80)))))
(sleep 3)
(unless in
(displayln "Connection not established. Breaking thread.")
(break-thread connect-thread))
The timer can also be place into its own thread if you need to set up
several connections in parallel.
Hope this helps,
Laurent
