Since many network operators consider PING as one of their essential tools, I thought this would be of interest to the list. I haven't been able to confirm this, but I haven't been able to reach Mike. Forwarded message:
Subject: The Creator of Ping is dead...
Mike Muuss, the author of the PING program used on networks everywhere, died last night in a traffic accident on US route 95 in Maryland. He was an alumnus of Johns Hopkins (BS1978 or 1979 I think).
Funeral arrangements have not been made yet, but I'll probably be going back to Maryland almost immediately to attend.
