[En-Nut-Discussion] NutTcpAccept() timeout

[Harald Kipp]

Don,

IMHO I never really agree to a timeout requirement for connect()
or accept(). Anyway, I agree that there may be specific reasons
for implementing this.

If you don't care modifying the TCP stack, you may follow a previous
post from Henrik Maier:

If I'm the only one with concerns, I can add it. I still think
that it is useless, not required and not following the standard,
but actually it won't hurt either.
