Obviously this goes back pretty far but I found this recent post on the Cisco Blog site linky. It has some basic ICMP how-tos for IOS but it links to something very nostalgic - The story of the PING program. The reason it is nostalgic for me is it is a time in which I first saw networking of any real sort (other than goofy access to local BBSes using the 300 bps modem on my Apple IIe which doesn't quite count) at the local University (albeit I understood none of it) and I would love to have been able to just go back and look over sholders during those days. The site even has some old TCP/IP Digest archives featuring many names now famous in the history of networking.
I wish I had a time machine.
