Secure Port Testing

Hello List, I am responsible for testing connectivity between customers and vendor sites and often need to verify and test firewall settings for extranet connections before the data link is available. In the past I would just set up a test box on a test LAN on the external interface of the Firewall and pick a service and run it on whatever port I need to test. I am looking for something more secure and configurable that wont put an actual service out in the open. Hopefully a tool that will allow me to open ports on a windows / or *nix box without actually having a particular service running there. Maybe a banner, or just something that will allow me to determine if the connection was successful. Preferably I would like the ability to open multiple ports at a time and be able to make quick to changes. My methodology is that if I get a positive connection I know the firewall is allowing me through and routing properly. Any recommendations for tools or different perspectives on how to test this will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
