Thank You!! (was Re: Help: How to check if remote computer is running)

Hi

After posting my question, I found Jeremy Hyltons ping package on
http://the-tech.mit.edu/~jeremy/python/. After making a few
modifications to get it to run with Python 2.1 on WinNT, it works fine
for my purposes.

Thank you very much for you fast answers!
