Well, I'm still looking for a way to 'ping' an internet node from
within Hypercard.  Someone mentioned the tcp hypercard tools that are
available on apple.com (I believe).  These xcmds allow you to do a great
many things using tcp (open a socket, listen on a socket, etc), but
nothing jumped out at me and said 'ping' :-).  Am I missing something
here?

Anyway, if anyone has any information, or can point me in the right
direction, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.
