Rob,

sorry to give you a 'headache', but, if your playing with ping, can you 
have it allow for long ping times please, such as we often get with 
satellite, where delays to the ping can cause it to currently abort, not 
due to the ping time itself, but to the on satellite hardware 
transmitting it taking time to pass it on. How you deal with this 
problem I have no idea, but maybe talking to the people at ipstar 
(ipstar.com) may give you an idea.

regards
