Definately false.
$ cat socktest.js

'use strict';
load("sbbsdefs.js");
load('sockdefs.js');


var sock = new Socket(SOCK_STREAM);
try { sock.connect('aardmud.org',4000,5) }
catch(e) {
        writeln(e);
        exit();
}

writeln("data? " + sock.data_waiting);
sock.close();
bbs@bbs:/sbbs/xtrn/mudlist/scripts$ jsexec -n socktest.js
data? false
