According to the TCP/IP docs, the ping() function (not ftpping())
returns the number of milliseconds elapsed if it succeeds.  I am
finding that the number it returns looks more like the number of
milliseconds multiplied by 10,000.  (It's always an even multiple of
10,000.)  Anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks for any help.
