RE: General socket question: Would server knows the connectionhasbeen broken if client drop the connection without calling close()

Would this still be true for a *ASYNC connection that uses icf?  We've
two different apps that doing connection to the paging terminal.  One
uses socket TCP, the other uses icf *ASYNC connection.

On *ASYNC apps - It talks to a CISCO router with x.25 protocol, CISCO
then talk to the remote router using TCP.  The remote router then talk
to terminal with x.25 again.  If I would have ended the job with *immed,
would the operating system auto send some type of FIN flag to the local
router to indicate that the connection is finished?

When the operating system knows that the connection is being terminated,
and is able to react to it, it'll send a packet that contains the FIN
("finished") flag to the remote side.  This tells the remote program
that the connection is done.
