Ping doesn't use TCP, it uses ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocol). I'm pretty certain that REBOL's network layer at the
moment only does TCP (not UDP or ICMP), therefore direct
implementation of PING won't work.
Once spawning external processes is available, one can just call the
OS's native ping program.
