 *********************************************************************
 *  7. 4.1999, H.G.: return error number in case of failure
 *                   pass max time for retries of connect()
 *  3. 3.2000, H.G.: rename iExit to imySigS
 *                   *piMaxTime: meaning of values -1 and 0 exchanged
 *  7. 3.2000, H.G.: renamed form rawConnect to rconnect
 * 31.10.2001, H.G.: ported to W2000
 * 14.10.2002, H.G.: ported to Lynx
 *  1. 2.2005, H.G.: ported to Linux and gcc322
 *  7.10.2008, H.G.: improved retry loops
 *  3.11.2008, H.G.: correct include files for AIX
 *  5.11.2010, H.G.: replace perror by strerror(errno)
 *  4. 9.2012, H.G.: printf -> fprintf(fLogFile, ...)
