Hello Folks @ 3000-l,

RE: FTP open command (FTP/iX's 50 Sin's /?;~)

Here is a quick update on an old 3000-l thread:

----------
Just a quick note for those folks who mentioned that FTP does not
time out on a bogus IP address:

  ftp 99.99.99.99

What I found was it actually was timing out, but after 10 iterations
of the configured TCP timers.
----------

This is fixed in FTPGDN1 6.0, FTPGDN0 6.5 and FTPGDM9 7.0.

These are Beta Test patches which can be picked up at the HP
Response Center as per:

  SR: 8606-231617 (6.0, 6.5, 7.0)

"Connection timed out" - too long timeout on OPEN by IP address.
