PING/LX 1.1
-----------

PING/LX is a simple utility that sends a ICMP echo request packet to a user
specified host. It measures the approximate time until a corresponding
echo reply packet is received. The utility can thus be used to
determine if a certain host is alive and how long it takes to get a
reply from that host.

In order to use PING, simply start it from the command line and give it
a host name as a parameter, e.g.:

PING my.favourite.host

If you start PING with a "-t" option, it traces the way the packets
take, i.e. the nodes a packet passes between your palmtop and the
destination site. This is similar to the "traceroute" command available
on some systems. Example:

PING -t my.favourite.host

PING/LX requires WWW/LX 2.0 or later.
