Ok, then it's anyone's guess what it does; Cisco doesn't really understand
DECnet or know how to read the specs. It would be informative to capture a packet trace
showing what was sent and received.
Seems to work pretty well here, and has for the better part of thirty
years, for me.
If I get any desk time soon I'll see if I can capture some traces for
you.

Say, that is a
very nice ping utility you have! Would you know where I could get the source to it or its
theory of operation?
I wonder too. The DEC standard answer would be an "NCP
loop node foo" command, which is an application protocol but a simple one (mirror,
object 25).
