Hello Alan,

And a further small point to help me clear things up things cleanly...

Quoted 3 lines

You will get connections completing, they will time out. If you expect the server to say something you'll see the timeout there instead of seeing it on the connect.

Perhaps also to further clarify the meaning og backlog in 2.4. The situation is this:

1. Pending requests up to backlog are always established.

2. Pending requests in excess of backlog are established, but may timeout if not accepted() in a timely fashion.

Have I got it right?

Cheers

Michael
