I have submitted to the submissions directory at cs.orst.edu a little
program I call Ping (Ping.tar.Z).  This is the source to a hack I
wrote up based on the ping script posted here last week by Steve
Hayman.  This is a NeXTStep app to do the same thing that his
script did, except I used (what I think is) a more appropriate
ping sound.  The app also demonstrates another use for the
Subprocess class found in /NextDeveloper/Examples/Subprocess.

Remember: It's only a hack.  (ie, keep your expectations low.)
