I've tried, but can't find where to change. The files to change are probably src/ping.h and src/ping.c. Changed ping.h, and the funy result was that it was not successful executing ping -c 5 address (correct form in the message, but not in the executed code). > >> I was exactly trying to find a replacement, thanks.

I've installed just ping from iputils in /usr/bin, and works almost fine. But moved out /bin/ping*. Problem is that it is not clearing the plot, before redrawing. >>>> >>>> 5.
