I'm new here, so I hope I'm not covering old ground.  I had a situation
like this with a VisualWorks web app and actually implemented a small
Java applet to do the pinging.  Worked fine in IE and Mozilla.  Had to
actually back-port some sort of Java timer classes to get it to work
with the IE JVM.  Anyway, if this is something you'd find useful, I'd be
glad to share the code with you.
