We're deep in a regional (5 hops away from the NSF backbone), and have found a number of sites we could ping but could not otherwise communicate with. In one case (uunet), we contacted the vendor of their software (Sequent), and the vendor agreed that a higher initial TTL was appropriate. One more thing for the "how to write a host TCP/IP implementation" RFC?
