I'm a little hesitant to chime in, since I screwed up last time, but
that brings up a question. In reading this thread, my first thought was
"Well, if this guy wants GNU netcat, why not just download GNU netcat?"
Just for giggles, I dowloaded and compiled it from sourceforge, and it
seems to work fine from a user home directory, and it has the -z
option...

I guess checking for installed packages is the only option left now.
It is *not* out of the question. tcping doesn't need system privileges.
Download the tcping rpm... Then....
For example do this...
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ rpm2cpio tcping-1.3.5-7.fc18.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idv
./usr/bin/tcping
./usr/share/doc/tcping-1.3.5
./usr/share/doc/tcping-1.3.5/LICENSE
./usr/share/doc/tcping-1.3.5/README
43 blocks
Now, since I keep user specific binaries in ~/bin
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ mv ./usr/bin/tcping bin/
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ bin/tcping -t 1 imap.gmail.com 993
imap.gmail.com port 993 open.
