Re: smallest pingable device
Probably a Palm Pilot or Pocket PC. Certainly the Sharp Zaurus 5500 which runs Linux would be able to do it. There is also something called a TinyPC that's about the size of a matchbox would do it as well... -Alex P.S. If you're looking for something cheap, any of the DSL/Cable Modem routers which are as low as $50 will answer a ping. In fact I just pinged my LinkSys box and it answered nicely. - Original Message - From: Michael O'Donnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:58 AM Subject: smallest pingable device What's the smallest device I can connect to a 10/100 Enet that will answer pings? ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Re: smallest pingable device
There are some -really- small IP/ethernet-aware embedded devices; I know that www.sensorsmag.com (located in lovely, scenic Peterborough) has reviewed them from time to time. Their new products editor, Melanie Martella ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) could probably offer assistance tracking them down, especially if it's for a commercial application. -Ken On Fri, 6 Sep 2002, Michael O'Donnell wrote: What's the smallest device I can connect to a 10/100 Enet that will answer pings? ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

It's a 1.7 inch by 2.7 inch soDIMM form factor with the dragonball m68k cpu like the pilot on it with 8MB and a 10T connector. It runs uCLinux (no MMU). -Alex P.S.
