I've got a couple of systems on my display that are "port pings". There may
be a more efficient way to do it, but what I have in bb-hosts is:
a.b.c.d hostname.domain.com # telnet:1494
The Hobbit network tester telnets to port 1494 and either gets a connection
or not. If not, that's a red dot. I have no idea what's supposed to be on
port 1494, but there's a little bit of text returned that says "ICA" so
maybe it's a Citrix server.
On several recent occasions when it failed, the response logged was:
Service telnet on hostname.domain.com is not OK : Service unavailable
(Connection reset by peer)
