[Mono-dev] System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping

[Antonello Provenzano]

Some time ago (before MS release of the utility shipped with .NET
framework) I wrote a complete application for pings: I could try
adapting it, since I've never released it and this could be a good use
for it.

I will let you know (even you're interested in).

Cheers.
Antonello
