I'm not even sure if PHP is the correct tool to do this for...but I'm
wondering how difficult it would be to write something for my webpage
that just tells if my file server is up or down (assuming either they
are on the same network, or the server had a static IP).

My new ISP's newsserver sucks. Anyone recommend a good one? Paying for
