It is nice to exist a net.el with ping written just in emacs lisp, not to
render the output from an external ping, even it is more difficult. That is
what I thought when I posted.
By the way. Why emacs-paste site render the lisp code in very nice readable
colors, while EmacsWiki, which is the main site to leans ELISP, does not? There
is not a common administrator?
