[FX.php List] Generic error message?

[Bob Patin]

In the midst of a routine OS update on Saturday night, my FM server  
managed to melt down and I could never get it back--even with an OS  
disk in the drive.

So I spent a couple of hours installing FMSA on a different machine,  
during which my FM 8 sites were down.

Is there a way to generate an error message when the FM server isn't  
reachable? Will FM error messages get generated even when the server  
is non-existent?

If not, is there a bit of code I could use that would be invoked  
whenever the server is not available?

Thanks,

Bob Patin
