It appears that only some of the operating systems would answer an

OpenVMS, Windows 95/98/98 SE/ME, NT below SP 4, and SUN Solaris
machines.

Add HP-UX 11.00 (but not 10.20) to the list.


[root@aik icmp]# ./sing -mask -c 2 -F 8 IP_Address
SINGing to IP_Address (IP_Address): 12 data bytes
12 bytes from IP_Address: icmp_seq=0 ttl=241 mask=0.0.0.0
12 bytes from IP_Address: icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 mask=0.0.0.0

--- IP_Address sing statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss

HP-UX 11.00 behaves exactly the same.
