  11. Hey wizzards!
  12.  
  13.     Q: How can one change the amount of time a connect() function
  14.        takes to time out when attempting to connect to an unconnected
  15.        address on the internet?  Currently it waits forever.  I
  16.        see the select() function has a value for timeout, but I
  17.        don't know if this is related to connect or not.
  18.  
  19.   Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
  20.         
  21.         Thanks in advance,
  22.             Yeasah Pell (yeasah@wpi.edu)
