It shouldn't be a big delay: connecting to a non-existent object generates an

The delay is about three to four seconds long, but maybe it depends on the
speed of the (emulated) RSTS host too. I do know that there is not such a
thing as a "no answer"; it was just an oversimplification of what a casual
user could think upon seeing an error instead of a login prompt. :)
