Personally, I don't know what heartbeat & mon are, therefore I can't suggest
an alternative. You could maybe say "tool that will tell me when a service
goes down" or whatever it is they do, instead of giving the link to the 
website.
I found the website to involve a lot of reading before I would 
understand the
software well enough to recommend an alternative.

Beyond that, there is some mystical, magical timing involved. As someone
else stated, different people monitor the list at different times. Sometimes
you just post a message at a bad time. Never be afraid to post 3 or 4 times,
just don't do it in rapid succession. Sometimes a message posted during the
week will yeild no responses, but will get buried under replies if posted
during the weekend.

And sometimes the question just isn't easily answered. Never be upset if
someone sends you a link to a website or a RTFM to a man page. Questions
like "how do I set up my firewall" are best handled in this manner, while
questions like "how do I block UDP traffic with my firewall" might get
more direct answers.

As an answer to your actual question, a slow, and time-consuming search
of the "sysutils" and/or "net" part of the ports tree may be beneficial.
Sometimes you just have to take some time to do the research (there's a
LOT of ports out there!)

I also seem to remember an article on how to do this posted on 
rootprompt.org,
but I can't find the friggin thing now or I'd give you a direct link.
