I would love to try check_icmp (having been disappointed by 
check_fping).

However, it doesn't appear to be in a freshly co'd copy of the CVS

Nor on SourceForge/Tracker/new plugins.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
