[fpc-pascal] FPCONNECT NOT WORKING?

[Rainer Stratmann]

if you use non-blocking sockets, you have to repeat the fpconnect call as i 
know. until the connection is ok.
i did it also for my application this way.
there exist also other ways to see if the connection is ok after the connect 
call...
but i don't know if they are compatible to arm system
