There's nothing I'm aware of in the core distribution, but I have seen two
third-party modules that provide this. One is timeoutsocket, the other
timeout_socket. Despite the similar names, they approach the problem in
fundamentally different ways. I think you will find timeoutsocket easier to
use. Here are pointers to both:
