Subject: setting socket connect timeout

I am trying to write some production code based on: tcpip
$examples:tcpip$tcp_client_qio.c

The connect qiow (with the io$_access function code) times
out in75 seconds. I can find documentation that says I can
change that timeout for this socket (I don't want to change
the system timeout).  But I can't figure out how to change
the timeout.  This is for a device on a small isolated  
intranet, so I what to use a shorter timeout.

Does anyone know how to change the timeout?

My documentation is quite old but it did contain a statement about timeouts just
as you describe. I expected to find the timeout functionality in IO$SETMODE but
I didn't....

Since I posted, I found that there is an extended characteristics
buffer specfied as p2 (see below)

but I can't get it to work. The code runs, but I still get a 75
second timeout

Format

status = SYS$QIO(efn, chan, IO$_SETMODE | IO$M_CTRL, iosb, astadr,
astprm, 0, address, 0, 0, 0, 0)

Argument

p2=address OpenVMS usage:
vector_word_unsigned

I tried the address of descriptor for 6 byte item with
short id = 4 and long value = 20
