Hi all, a slightly off topic question:

Any recommendations on network monitors to verify smtp, http, and
firewall online status (ping) of various machines.  I'm looking for
something that can send a page or an e-mail if there is a problem. Thanks!



Right now, my preference is NOCOL... it runs on most UN*X systems (it
requires a fiarly recent version of Perl) and comes with source.  It's
fairly easy to extend and develop monitors for and, best of all, it's
currently free...

Yeah, it has its own share of problems, but the price is right...
