strange pings

[Peter L. Peres]

Jason, thanks for the input, but this does not seem to be it. It's more
likely a Kazaa 'feature' (see aa in Kazaa). There seem to be several Kazaa
servers and slaves on this network and they are pinging each other ? I'm
going to read up on Kazaa mechanisms. This pinging is annoying.
