Hi,

frankly, I don't really understand why you need to do this. The standard
ping is just like the extended ping with the default options, as far as
I know, except that you don't get all the RTT times but just the average
and min/max.

If you really want it, do something like this:

First find the line sending the ping command in TelnetIOSPing.pm:

     $telnet->print("ping");

and change it to something like

     @output = $telnet->cmd("ping $dest");

Then remove everything up to and including

     @output = $telnet->cmd("n");

Then match the times inside 'while (@output)', replacing the line

        $outputline =~ /^Reply to request \d+ \((\d+) ms\)/ && push(@times,$1);

with something like

     if ($outputline =~ /^Success rate is \d+ percent ((\d+)/5), round-trip min/avg/max = (\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+) ms/) {
	my ($number, $min, $avg, $max) = ($1, $2, $3, $4);
	for my $i (1..$number) {
		if ($i == 1) {
			push @times, $min;
		} elsif ($i == $number) {
			push @times, $max;
		} else
			push @times, $avg;
		}
	}
     }

This code puts the average into all the results in between min and max,
which is actually wrong, now that I think of it. I guess you'll have to
replace that with something smarter if you really want to do this.

This is all untested, of course. Hope it helps.

Cheers,
