The source for ping has been in the public domain ever since Mike Meuss (BRL) worte it. I don't know which options you refer to, source routing is a common unimplimented flag. Could you specify which options are unimplimented and how you would use any option to fix your net? I assume that at least you can send an icmp echo packet and get in return an icmp echo-reply packet.
