You could probably find out something, but not much, by using ping instead of hopping through the routers and finding out that there is a route to the destination host. netstat -s and netstat -i would be far more useful for that. One would normally use ping to determine line throughput and latency. -- Mladen Gogala http://www.mladen-gogala.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
