   Alternatively, could someone point me in the direction of the RFC
   which specifies the ping format (and how to electronically receive
   a copy).

"ping" is really just a user handle to the ICMP ECHO function,
described in RFC792.  Get the RFCs via anonymous FTP from nic.ddn.mil
or via UUCP from uunet or osu-cis, or via mail to service@nic.ddn.mil.
