Just using make-comint with a port that doesn't answer doesn't time out, but brings up an error message. Perhaps it is a DNS problem; longer timeouts can happen there. Comint generally works for me. Unless we have a reproducible report, let's deprioritize this. On 6 Mar 2009, at 14:36, Adrian Robert wrote: > Hello, > > Does this issue still exist in emacs-23?

I found a work-around, by changing the line to read (make-comint "MATLAB EEI" (cons 'local 5600)) That one now works consistently, while the other (make-comint "MATLAB EEI" (cons (system-name) 5600)) failed when I was connected via wi-fi (and had a DHCP assigned TCP-IP address), but not when I was connected via ethernet (and had a static TCP-IP) address. I don't know if it would still be a problem the original way it was written.

Maybe, though in that case I'm not sure if I'd be willing to call it a bug in emacs, unless Ctrl-G wouldn't abort it. (It should now in Emacs.app ;). Anyway I can't reproduce it putting in whatever bogus name instead of (system-name). I'm inclined to close the bug. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
