I want my TCP client to timeout if it can't connect within 3 seconds.

I've looked at the documentation, but it isn't clear how the TimeoutConnect property \
should be specified (milliseconds, seconds?).  After examining the code, it looks \
somewhat complicated with additional properties like TimeoutSampling, TimeoutIdle, \
TimeoutConnect, TimeoutStartSampling, TimeoutKeepThreadAlive, etc. 

The FAQ (http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/FAQ.Timeout) says to use a TTimer, \
which I have done for read timeouts, but I want to understand the purpose/advantages \
of the aforementioned functions so I know why/when to use them instead of my own \
timer. 

Also, can the built in timer be used for read timeouts, or is it just for connection \
timeouts?

Thanks,
Doug
