[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Problems with Hypercard TCP XCMDs and XFCNs

elson@otc.otca.oz.au (Elson Markwick) (06/18/91)

We are trying to get a Hypercard stack running that involves MacTCP calls.
The problem is that I can't seem to get timeouts to work properly (at all :-).
OK, so I've put a value in the ULP time-out byte of the parameter block (byte
32), and set the validity bits (byte 34) to 0xC0.  Nothing changes - machine just
appears to hang during say a TCPSend, if the ethernet is broken, and won't come
back until the ethernet is reconnected.

FYI - we are using Hypercard 2.0v2, MacTCP 1.0

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Elson
