Apart from the 15s timeout, that is what we currently do.
I wanted to have the same timeout on the ping and telnet,
(er, connect), but was too lazy to use anything harder
than MythSocket::connect() in telnet().
If anyone has sufficient motivation to add a timeout code
to either of those, it would make misconfigured startups
just that bit nicer.
