[smokeping-users] SmokeTrace 2.0

[Josh Luthman]

That's even better then what I had thought!

For something like this I would want it on a Linux server, but I am sure
other people would have other opinions (Windows, Mac, BSD, etc).  I've not
paid enough attention when using the different traceroute utilities to even
notice they were different.

Will you be releasing both plugins with one SmokeTrace archive?

Not sure if this is supposed to be this way or not - but it thinks there are
non-responsive hosts between hosts (in my case the destination - 4.2.2.2) it
ends up with repeated lines with 4.2.2.2 (8, 17 and 24 with non-responsive
hosts between the three).
