Ping Test Manager is a small robot useful for test Echo areas. Ping is
scanning message base and creating reply for all msg written to PING.
It is working like this:
Somebody, somewhere is writing message to PING:

In Aftermail event (or any time else) the PING is started. He is scanning msg_base,
and found msg addressed to him ... so Ping is writing reply...

How can you use it and for what? For example you can create local test area. You have
soem new points, or other downlinks and they are all the time writing messages to you
which looks like: "Tell me dear Boss how my msg looks?". Now you can use PING TestMgr
for answering this questions! You can also use it for testing echo routing in your Region
of network or your Net.
After start PING is looking for PING.CFG file which should be saved in directory
where PING.PRG is. PING.CFG file looks like:

I think it is very simple and you understand it after configuring all Fido software you did.
But you have to remember that you can use only 10 addresses and only 10
echomail areas. If you need more please let me know about that.
So ... use PING Test Mgr on your system. It is free. If you want to know about new versions
of PING please send me NetMail, I'll add your address into my "PING USER LIST", and will tell
you about every new version!
Greetings, Jakub Klawiter
