Another quicklink post, this time for gamers. Anyone who games on a PC and has a headset has used a VOIP (Voice Over IP) client to communicate during gaming sessions. Ventrilo is such a client and at times it is useful to know if a Ventrilo server is alive, who is on it and how many slots it has. Ventrilo’s own website provides these abilities on the Ventrilo Status page.

All you need to have beforehand is the IP Address/Hostname and the Port.
