Actually I typoed on that, it is port 80 and am able to pull web pages from
the box (With the first line of the source being this <?xml version= etc
prior to the HTML body statement.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure what kind of
software they are using (Almost seems like some sort of portal system).

I'll give the Custom probe trick a try...

        Thanks

                David

The server responding at port 90 (not 80?) is not a web server. You 
should be able to confirm this with a web browser: http://address:90

InterMapper's HTTP probes sends a line with a GET request of the form 
"GET /path HTTP/1.0" following by some other standard stuff and then 
expects a response. The first line of the response must match "HTTP/" 
or something like it. If there is no match, InterMapper returns the 
"unexpected greeting from port" message.

If you want to test this new kind of server, you might try the "Basic 
TCP" and "Custom TCP" probes. They can both test that the first line 
returned by the server contains "<?xml version=".
