I had exactly the same problems via sockets and FDDI...

the ERRNO is normal and you only have to retry an receive of an
packet after you got an -1. I try it 19 times and then i tell IDL
a TIMEOUT on receive.

THe next thing is that you have to tell the SERVING process to resend
the failed package!!!

hope it helps...

and: take a look in the archive of osf-managers (my question is archived
there)
