   You mean "if A is in FIN_WAIT_2, can its application still receive data   
   from B?"   
      
   As far as I can tell from Stevens' "TCP/IP illustrated: vol 1, this is   
   a "half-close".  A has ended its stream of data to B, but the stream   
   in the opposite direction is intact.  B may send as much as it   
   pleases, forever, or until A resets.
