A quick and easy way would be to telnet to that port
typically this command would do the trick:
telnet 111.222.111.222 6112
If you get any response other than a connection failure, the port is open.
This is one easy way to find out what Mail server is running for a
particular site - if you telnet to port 25, it responds with the server
software name (in most cases) as well as either a login or a prompt waiting
form SMTP commands (I know, off topic...)

Can you SSH into any port? I'm not at all formilar with SSH so I
don't
know what I'm talking about. What I really need is a way to test if
port 6112 is open. Can SSH do that? Something new around every corner.
