Very good (kidding..)
The ping program is apparently a trivial sort. I got it to build under
both DJGPP 1.x and 2.0, and it pinged, yes, but according to the porter it
can't do blocking I/O. So I tried using select() to poll the port and
avoid use of blocking I/O, but that did not work. The level of support is
definitely NOT at the level where you can recompile your simple Unix
network apps under DJGPP, unfortunately.
