If we want to support this in general, we must implement an async version of open-network-stream (or add an optional arg to it to make it async - that arg could be a function which is called when the connection has been opened. Is it hanging in open-network-stream? If so, precisely where in open-network-stream is it waiting? It may be a straightforward matter to implement quitting from a few places where the waiting typically happens. That would fix this problem. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
