If this is not subject to license disclosure restrictions, I'd sure like to know what is being counted so that I can attempt to emulate it in a System V environment. The ruptime command in the WIN TCP/IP package implements this, but only runs on machines with the net up. I'd like to be able to present comparable information on 3B2's not running WIN.
