It would be quit simple to impliment. Some sysops however may find a quick
ping to their binkd port intrusive, but it really wouldn't be. A responce to
the query would be enough to know if the system is up or down. The issue 
might be with the volume of nodes.

Someone suggested I'm actually writing such a thing but I'm not. I do however
do this for amateur packet radio using my software. That may be where the
confusion came from.
