Hello.

How I can handle network connections manually?
When in a programm is used timer.ml with default tick unit = 100 milliseconds
(pllab.kaist.ac.kr/%7Eshoh/ocaml/libs/timer/), it is not possible to open
connections to some servers using Unix.open_connection -- the program 
always get EINTR.
Platform idepedent (noticed on freebsd and linux debian).

Of course it is platform independent, this is the POSIX mandated behaviour of
connect. See the man pages for connect, select, poll.

This is not generally considered the brightest part of the POSIX spec:
