[Anyone know how to make Outlook quote a message *correctly*??]

That would be great if there was a specific port I wanted to watch. :-)
I'm just looking to do the occasional ping if possible.  tping would let
me do that through the firewall.

ping?  I'm behind a firewall that blocks ICMP traffic, and I have hosts
that need monitoring on the other side of it.  Since tping uses TCP
packets instead of ICMP, it seems like it would be useful as a
replacment.  Unfortunately, the output from tping looks different than
the output of ping.  So the check_ping plugin doesn't know what to do
with it.

Try using the check_tcp plugin maybe?
