	On VMS, what is a nice simple way from within a COM file
	to see whether a remote DECNET node is available or not given
	that you don't know anything about the files or system type
	of the remote node ????

	Please send reponses directly to JACK @ NRCHEP (on BITNET)
	as I currently not on the infoVAX distribution.

	Thanks for any help on this matter.
