It works! However, I only want it to test once or twice an hour. If I can figure that part out, I'll be in good shape!

Thanks a bunch for that quick reply! I'll do as you suggest.

I would like to be able to monitor these modems by connecting to their port on the terminal server, i.e. 192.168.1.15:2001, send them an "AT" command, wait a few seconds for a response, then disconnect. I can't figure out a way to connect to them with the additional requirement of having to use the network port that they addressed by on the terminal server...in this case, 2001 through 2007.

Kind of thinking out loud here, but what if you make a custom entry in the bb-services file, with the send command containing AT (and whatever else you need), and what you should expect back. CHeck the bb-services man page for details on this, as well as the bb-hosts man page.

I set up a couple of custom network tests using the bb-services file for

some proprietary applications, and it seems to work pretty well.

I never tried to do what you want to do, but a custom entry in bb-services would be my first approach. Someone else with much more knowledge and experience might weight in on this as well.
