You can do this with the standard unix or Windows ping. There is a command
line option to set the number of pings to send, then use a perl script to
get the response line you are looking for and log the data. If you are not
sure how to parse the output from the ping command then let us know.

If you are pinging a lot of devices then try fping http://www.fping.com/
this unix pinger can ping hundreds of devices at the same time with very
little load on the pinger machine.

Good luck!
