I don't know how to get an echo. But here's a couple of approaches you might try to get *some* response: ;; See if domain is registered / IP address exists: >> read dns://www.rebol.com == 64.82.101.70 >> read dns://64.82.101.70 == "rebol.com" ;; See if a homepage exists (proving server is up, and is doing www work) >> read http://64.82.101.70 == {<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> ;; Or just: >> exists? http://64.82.101.70 == true >> exists? http://64.82.254.254 == false ll If there's no www server, try FTP >> read ftp://64.82.101.70 == [%incoming/ %pub/ %test.txt] ;; Rebol's server exists and has a few public items >> read ftp://129.42.19.99 ** User Error: Failed login to 129.42.19.99 as anonymous. Check your login ** Near: read ftp://129.42.19.99 ;; either IBM.com exists but we can't get in ;; Or it's a bad IP address ;; Open a port and play around my-ftp-port: open ftp://64.82.101.70 my-http-port: open http://64.82.101.70 probe my-ftp-port/state etc hth Sunanda. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
