Trying to check for an open port and missing netcat or nmap? This is the lowest common denominator way to verify a port is accessible from one server to another. This will give you a pretty quick return of 0 if it works. If it fails, it will just hang and takes awhile to timeout. I usually ctrl+c the command.
