Absolutely. (Sorry btw for the long time it took me to respond!) If it's possible to implement a time-out to calls which currently don't, that would be great! Please note that you can model read-timeouts through the WITH-INPUT-AVAILABLE macro. It would be even nicer to be able to extend that macro with support for SOCKET-CONNECT and possibly other operations (such as write-waiting?). > In particular, SOCKET-CONNECT needs a timeout argument. Yes, it does. > If there are no current plans, I'll add timeouts to my list and add them. Well, if you could do the research (ie: tell me for the most relevant CL implementations what the APIs are), I'll gladly implement the timeouts. Hope that answers your question. Bye, Erik.
