Hello MGRs,
I know I know - jeesh this guy has a lot of problems. ;-)  I am fairly new
to Tru64 Unix and I have to try and help support about 75 developers, so
bear with me.  Thanks to Stuart Whitby for giving me a good suggestion.
I didn't receive an answer to my question here and I was wondering if:
Is it possible to minimize the time a port stays in the CLOSE_WAIT state and
if so what is the system parameter that would do so?
Cheers,
Todd M. McGuinness 
Systems Engineer
