Yes it does.

You are working with Lua 4.0? If so, look for the "timeout" which is
described in the link you sent me. More specifically,

    http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/luasocket/func.html#tcp.timeout

If you are using Lua 5.0, than you should be using the alpha version of
the library at

    http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/luasocket/new/

and the function is described at

    http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/luasocket/new/tcp.html#settimeout

Both entries are available from the index.

Right now, just in my harddrive. But soon in the distribution
website.
