I know there is some way to test ports between systems without using
telnet (not allowed in my environment).  My monitoring (Messenger

Is there a way to ping to a specific port?

Ping uses ICMP, not TCP or UDP and so will not help you determine if aspecific port is open. Tools like nmap may be useful.
