If you are using AIR you can test to see if the connection is open. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/flickr_floater_06.html Explains it pretty well.
If you are purely using Flex in the Flash Player, you can probably glean the information from the Fault object the Remote Object generates when the RPC operation fails. Gk.

I have an application with error processing that needs to know if an RPC failed because the user's connection is down... Thanks!
