[MiNT] MiNTNet: connect timeout?

[Pierre Ton-That <ptonthat@club-internet.fr>]

Hi,

Facing a blocking problem when doing a tcp_open with STinG and/or 
Gluestik. I tried to use MiNTNet socket and fconnect, but it seems it's 
also blocked at connection attempt.
This happens when a existing site does not want to respond on a specific 
port. The domain is found, the resolver gives the IP address. But for 
example, toto.com does not respond at opening/connecting to port 21.

Is there a way to test an opened port(s) before the connection attempt, 
or use a timeout in the connect function? Or do programs use a separate 
process they can kill if connection is too long?

Regards,

Pierre
