[omniORB] Timeout when server unavailable

[Richard Hardgrave]

David,
	Apparently, John Fleming feels that there is enough of a need
for this that he is developing a "Fault Detection and Notification"
system for monitoring objects. He's looking for beta-sites with CORBA
developments.  He's at jfleming@orbism.com.

Regards,

Richard
