The PING command sends ICMP echo request(s) to the specified IP 
address or hostname for the purposes of route testing.

Syntax:  PING <hostname | ipaddr> [length [interval]]

An optional data portion of "length" bytes may be specified, and the 
echo request may optionally be repeated every "interval" seconds.  The 
process aborts if you send an empty line.

If there is a reply it will be displayed.  For repeating pings the 
system displays the number sent/rcvd, the average round trip time in 
milliseconds, and the success rate.

Examples:  PING 44.131.91.2           Single ping of minimum size
           PING 44.131.91.2 50        Single ping with 50 bytes data
           PING gb7pzt                Uses DNS to resolve host.
           PING 44.131.91.2 512 10    Ping 512 bytes every 10 secs
