- I would like to be able to detect when somebody connects to a 7171
- port from a CMS program. Basically I need something that will
- check to see if the port is active, and if not to wait until a
- connection is made. Does anybody have any suggestions on how this
- could be implemented or if there any utilities that can do this?
- I need it for a rexx application that talks to dedicated terminals
- (as in ATTACH xxx TO *), it can detect if there is no connection
- but it does a busy wait which I don't like.
