- I have a sun sparc/2 communicating wi mac's via
- tcp/ip. I am using blocking reading and writing.
-
-
- The problem being... The mac tends to crash in the
- middle of a transmission. When this happens the sun
- takes a *long* time to recognize that the connection is
- broken. I suspect it's the mac's fault. Not closing it's
- device drivers when it goes south.
-
-
- Does anybody know a solution to this without resorting
- to non-blocking I/O? Maybe I could play some games with signals?
