Hi! Bing works great! It nice learn something new every day. It informs the speed between two nodes very accurately. Very very cool. Thanks James!
ALF PS: I compiled it from the sources coming from Suse (search in rpmpbone for bing). I think you need at least Mandrake 8.2 to compile it. In a Mandrake 7.2 I couldn't make it work.
