Layer 2 'Ping'


Hello,

I'd like to write a small connectivity utility which will
_craft_ then _pack_ and _send_ an ethernet frame.


First: Im using MSWin32

Second: Is there already a utility for sending a Layer 2 'ping'
without a TCP/IP stack loaded?

Third: Can the DL-DATA-ACK function be utilized for this?

Fourth: I'd like to use Perl for this, but ive had some trouble
finding an appropriate 'module' to accomplish this.
