If you have control on those machines, you can turn the echo service on (but beware of security risks - I'd rather suggest to write a little server script that answers with "I'm here" to everyone that connects...). Otherwise, you can use any other service the machine provides to discover if it is up or not. Anyway, asking questions never hurts, so don't feel sorry. :-) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
