Hi All

This may seem a bit off topic - which it is as well - but I think 
that some of you may be able to help. I did expressly join a 
reasonably active looking VisualC++ group only to find out that 99% 
of its content is advertising or job recruitment and so don't have 
much hopes to receive anything worth while...

So here is the question:
Does any one have experience with timeout limits of CSocket socket
implementation? [MFC and a bit like BSD socket support]
CSocket used CAsyncSocket and I am using it to send and receive UDP
frames. When a read is made it blocks until it receives something,
which is not what I need for my present project. What I need is the
possibility to tell it to return after a specified time (say 1 or 2
seconds if it doesn't receive anything).
I was expecting the timeout to be set using CAsyncSocket::SetSockOpt
but it turns out that this supports a subset of BSD sockets (where
the setting is possible here) but doesn't support the setting I am
looking for.
So at the moment I doen't seem to find a solution.

As you can imaging the embedded processor side is not the problem 
here but it often has to communicate with a PC - windows in this 
case..

Can anyone help??
