Best way to setup a timeout on tcp connection?

[aamazigh]

How would you set a timeout on a tcp connection when echoing a server?

The echo method uses TCPSocket, which, as far as I know, doesn't have a timeout.

ruby-dicom/lib/dicom/link.rb

Line 1118 in 204dded

@session = TCPSocket.new(adress, port)

Thank you in advance.
