tye/Tye, thanks

My original post may have been unclear. I said "hang" but I didn't necessarily mean that the program hung, only that it kept on trucking despite the fact that the motion controller is no longer there.

To restate my problem, this code is a middle-man. On opposite sides of it's table are the client (the operator interface) and the server (the motion controller.) If the client goes away, the middle man will kick the server out too. If the server goes away, the middle man will try to bring it back.

In actuality, the server is going away (every couple of days on its own; every time I yank the network cable in test) and the middle man just keeps on listening to an empty chair. I want it to get off it's butt and get the server back to the table.

Does that make sense? I keep feeling like there should be a good way of doing this, and fearing there is not...
