I have some jobs that FTP outbound from out HP3000 and they have been
getting hung out to dry.

When I manually FTP (in a DOS window) the same Domain Name the jobs are
using it also fails.

The TIMEOUT parameter does not work.  (Someone said that one has to get
a connection before TIMEOUT will work in FTP, seems odd.)

I'm wondering if is there a way to check if a DNS site accesible is
working before one enters FTP?

Then I could sandwich my FTP commands between an IF THEN ... ENDIF
statement.

I mean I could PING, but does PING set a JCW if it succeeds or anything
like that?
