I notice that bsd sockets, set in AF_UNIX mode, are non-blocking by default. In AF_INET mode, they are blocking. I thought they both should be blocking. (and I can only see a way to make them NON blocking, not the reverse; with fcntl). Am I off base, or is this a problem? Thanks, Michael Zeleznik Computer Science Dept.
