It's not that big a deal for > me right now, but I'd like to make it work on GPs. I found the examples on http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?cdrw worked out of the box. They other examples required changes to work. I figured it was easier to start with something that worked and add my stuff than it was to make something I didn't understand work. Dan has a udp add that takes care of the traceroute. The example limits it to 30 hops.
