Anyway, since you > have access to OS/2, can you help us to dig in a bit? I only have v4 (not v4.5 or eCS), but its still treated there as a "optional" package, certainly from the point of view of maintenance.

So does OS/2 now support TCP/IP by default?

I don't have VAC++ or a complete set of API docs either, but it wouldn't surprise me that select() is available in the socket library, exclusively for sockets.

I use EMX, which has a select() that does what needs to be done to support sockets as well as files and (I think) pipes.

I hope to have a look at your bits this weekend. Will let you know what transpires.

I've just upload an alpha version of unit case for the timeout socket (http://www.3captus.com/Downloads/test_sockettimeout.py). Please give it a try.
