    ****************************************************************
    When starting a secure session, if the host does not respond
    to the Client Hello, PCOMM hangs waiting for the response.
    

Problem conclusion

  • PCSECLVC.DLL and PCSTLNET.DLL have been changed to set the
    socket timeout property, which closes the socket if the host
    does not respond to the Client Hello.
