RE: socket in use

["JIM LANGSTON" <JLANGSTON@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm.. so if this program waits 2 x MSL before attempting to open the socket
then the socket should always be available, unless another program is
actively using it?

Sounds logical.  How does one determine the MSL, or does one?

Regards,

Jim Langston

Since that port is still in use (due to the wait for the 2 x MSL timeout)
it does not let you re-bind to it until that timeout period has elapsed.
