Pinging a netbios name

[salva at umh.es]

Does know anybody a small, little, beatiful (and cheap) software
replacement of PING utility for pingins machines with netbios name and with
ip number and without DNS entry?

Smbclient and nmblookup work fine, but I thinking in a utilitity like PING
of windows95. This ping is capable to work in WINS (NETBIOS) and ip and
name translation.

The ping of linux dont work in this way. Samba work fine.
