On other platforms connect() generally time out in 60s +/- 15s.
Linux seems to not time out for 13 over minutes.
This test case is for a host that is not currently on the net at all:
$ hostinfo cutter
Desired host: cutter
Official name: CUTTER-JOHN.MIT.EDU
Alias: cutter.mit.edu
Host address: 18.70.0.158
Host info: IBM/PS-2/OS/2
$ ping cutter
