How do I Check a Server is up ?

We have an old web site hosted on a web server. From a page on that server the user can re-direct to a new application hosted on another web sever. If this server is down then the standard ASP error is dipslayed which isn't very neat.

Can I run a script in the background on a web page that somehow checks whether another page on another server can be served ? Then when the user clicks to re-direct a nice user friendly error message can be displayed.....

Any clues ?

The web servers are NT.
