About one digit per second. Those "line numbers" are a counter that appears while a connection request is pending. It disappears when the connection succeeds. And, yes, they should be really, really close to 1 second apart! ;-) Under the hood, libtds connects to the server using nonblocking I/O. connect(2) usually returns with EINPROGRESS or similar, and the library uses poll(2) to wait for the connection to complete. You can see evidence of that in a typical TDSDUMP log. The above information should be in the man page, but isn't. Sorry about that, Chief. --jkl
