Well, it might...but I didn't have the patience to find if and how
long it took, more than two minutes.
I think it is probably better to use a number or maybe have a timer in the
batch file to cut things off if it takes too long. Maybe someone else has
a better solution. I figure that if I can't get a ping in 15-30 seconds
that the link is practically unusable anyway.
