Description Chris Hafey 2002-01-21 12:39:40 CST 
If our client attempts to connect to a server that is unreachable on the 
network (powered off or unplugged from network), it experiences a lengthy (30+ 
seconds) timeout before getting an exception.  The ORB currently allows us to 
set a timeout via the set_timeout_hook() method, but the ORB applies this 
timeout to the connection, read and writes for the socket.  We would like the 
timeout to apply only to the initial connection.
