[plug] audible ping

[bob]

I'm trying to trace a wiring problem in the lan (intermittent open) and
thought the old ping -a would be useful. Apparently thats only BSDish
pings though and not implemented in any of the Debian/Mandrake/Redhat
pings I have available. Freshmeat did not come to the rescue and nothing
I've googled for seems useful either.

So... anyone know of anything like that I can use?
