The newest version of our Sys V.3 (Streams) TCP/IP code which we have running on the 3B2, DOES have a raw interface to IP (and thereby, does have ping). We will be demostrating the upgraded version at Uniforum in February. As for when it will be released as a product by AT&T, I can only point you to Rich Kappel (AT&T Product Manager for TCP/IP) and suggest you call him (312-810-6879) to ask him when, and to indicate how important it is to you.
