Greetings!

I have a problem that I am trying to overcome and I thought I would post here to see what others thought I might try.

The problem is that I am trying to ping a loopback jack.......I feel that it should be possible to define an IP address with a similarly simple component....but I am not seeing anything that I can use.

What I am trying to do is have a server ping that small plugin.....and when the ping returns an error another process is started.......The problem here is getting something small and inexpensive to plug into the port......something like a loopback jack but with an IP address.

Any ideas?
