This is my ping -
tcphost is a variable that has the IP address.
IF CNMEPING('-q' tcphost) THEN
ping_ok = 1
ELSE
ping_ok = 0
And my apologies, they're SNMP GET's, not walk.
'PIPE NETV snmp get -Os -c public -h 'tcphost ifPhysAddress.1,
'| VAR macaddr'
'PIPE NETV snmp get -Os -c public -h 'tcphost gdStatusId.0,
'| VAR printid'
'PIPE NETV snmp get -Os -c public -h 'tcphost gdStatusInitialize.0,
'| VAR status'

When you say NetView ping, SNMP walk, etc, are these canned programs you have
to run, or functions you have written in your REXX using the sockets interface?
I assume the former, but if the latter, the REXX sockets API does support
nonblocking mode, so in theory you could have multiple connections on the go at
once without multitasking/threading.
