Manual work always sucks :) I think a new server parameter `check-reachable' or something like that would make sense. It could be a number (indicating connection timeout time) or a path (a command to run to check connectivity). I'll follow up on emacs-devel regarding socket timeouts in general. I think the improvement has to be made in the C core. Ted
