Howdo I "ping" and web address

Subject:Howdo I "ping" and web address

I would like to check if a website is available and then do a download
from there.  I have sorted the download part out, but want to check
regally to see if the web site is available.  My clients mostly use
dial-up connections, so I want to "ping" the web site about every 5 min
and if found then download the file.

I would appreciate any help and thanks for a wonderful set of components
and this forum that makes my life a lot easier. I am a novice in the
Internet area, so thank you for all the help and hints.  I appreciate
the time and effort everybody put into this.

Regards
