What is "ICMP ping"? Is it a normal "ping 111.111.111.111" or something I did not yet 
hear about?

If it is just a standard "ping", then it only tells that the machnie is up, but not 
whether SIMS is running. The http request to the port you've assigned to SIMS 
(standard "out of the box" is 8010, not 80, but you can configure it easily using 
Communigator or the web interface (? changing it using the web interface would 
probably cut the contact immediately on the present port and you'd have to re-connect 
on the new port, I suppose).

That said, I never saw SIMS 1.8b8 going down, but I used "Keep It Up" on the Mac IIci 
running SIMS to restart the machine if necessary, and an alias to SIMS is in the 
startup-items folder. The machine is set to autostart should it go down for any reason 
(power failure, or so).

Best wishes, Christian.
