Hello,

It would be very very handy to have MultiPing keep track of lost
packets. Last night my cable connection was acting up and I found
- using the CLI ping program - that it was dropping about 40% of
the packets. Technically the connection was not down, but TCP
performance was in the toilet. Therefore I would really like to see
MultiPing track packet loss too.

Secondly, I hope that Apple releases Java 1.5 ASAP, but of course
MultiPing detects the stock java 1.4.2 installation on my Mac OS X
box and terminates as expected. I'm disinclined to mess with my
Java installation at the moment.

Rock on!

    Not sure if that's possible using Java, since the API I'm using
    (isReachable()) only tells you if the host is reachable or not.

    Also, I've searched around Apple's site and cannot find the
    Java 1.5.0 beta. Perhaps if you register a developer account
    it would be accessible? I can't imagine they're not working
    on providing Javas 1.5.0. Maybe Apple is waiting to do
    anything until Sun releases it? If you find the beta of Java
    1.5.0 from Apple, please let me know. Maybe the thing to do
    is provide the applicable links in the error box.
