I'd be very surprised. You'll get some form of response anyway. From a
command line in Windows, type "telnet server.name PortNumber".
If it says
it can't connect, chances are the port is shut. If it gives a blank
screen,
it's an open port, but it's waiting for you to communicate with it. I
rarely find anything that doesn't work like that. Hotel wireless broadband
places are one of the few exceptions I find.
Cheers,
Andy
