Mabry's Ping/X ActiveX control provides easy to use
internet 'ping' functionality. Using Ping/X you can
test for the existance of machines on the net and you
can determine what the latency time is for transfer
between the machine doing the ping and that being
pinged. In addition to the usual ICMP and RAW type
pings Mabry's Ping/X supports TCP and UDP pings.
These alternatives are provided because some systems,
mostly running UNIX, can be set up so that they don't
respond to the normal ping requests.
The 32-bit Ping/X comes as both an ActiveX control
(OCX) and a COM object (DLL), so you can use it in
nearly any modern programming environment. As a light
ActiveX control/COM Object, Ping/X doesn't require any
bulky MFC DLLs to run. Your web-based applications
(VBScript, ASP, etc.) will download faster, your
installation package will be smaller, and you'll have
no problems with different versions of DLLs on your
users' systems. And, because it's both an ActiveX
control and COM Object, Ping/X will run in Visual
Basic, Visual FoxPro, Internet Explorer, Delphi and
any other environment that supports either ActiveX
controls or COM objects.
