Net Ping and option -t

Thanks for the feedback!  I think you mean the -t option that the Windows version of ping offers, which pings continuously until stopped.

The Linux version of ping uses -t to specify ttl, which Net Ping does as of version 1.2.

I wasn't sure if continuous ping on an Android phone would be useful, but it's not too difficult for me to add in.  My plan for continuous mode is to ping until you stop (via the menu), or hide the app (like going to the home screen). I don't want Net Ping inadvertently draining  batteries.
