I thank you all so much for your input. I got busy and wasn't able to check this out til tonight.

I will check this stuff out.

I needed a cost effective way to figure if the APs at the hotels were working from my office.

I did find out though that the gateway we use will ping the APs all the time, and if they stop pinging, an alert email message will be sent to me.

But I still need to ping the gateway remotely, to be sure that is working.

I hope there is a cost effective pinging program that will ping all our gateways continuously, from our office, and will send an alarm if the pinging stops.
