Without the raw sockets support, it is NOT possible to perform a ping...at
least not short of writing your own TCPIP protocol...

Subject: TCP/IP vs. ping
I need to implement a "ping" function on the Palm. According to Article
1141 in
the Palm Knowledge Base, "... PalmPilot supports the TCP and UDP
stream/datagram
layers of the internet. The raw socket interface is not supported. As a
result,
applications cannot implement a ping protocol." The article goes on to
describe
the Berkely Sockets API and the PalmPilot Net Library API. Can someone
clarify
for me whether it is, in fact, possible to perform a ping function in some
way?
Thanks,
Barb
