The hosts.cfg entry above _does_ test port 80 by establishing a 
connection to the port, sending an http request and verifying the response.

The protocols.cfg file lists the various network protocols that Xymon 
knows about (and you can add your own, if you need any).

Port 3389 is the RDP port, which is one of the protocols Xymon knows. So 
to test for that, use

1.2.3.4 myhost # rdp

Add as many network tests as you like, eg. if you want to test host 
1.2.3.4 for both http and RDP:

1.2.3.4 myhost # http://1.2.3.4/ rdp

Henrik
