Indeed for ping. Actually, there is an interface with Lantern, so one
can send and receive whatever one wants thru the ethernet card
(within NewtonScript of C++). But I wonder how one can actually do
ICMP using NIE.
For nslookup/dig, there is a NS client implemented in the Newton, but
it doesn't do as many things as nslookup provides. However, NIE
provides full support to UDP, so it won't be hard to have a correct
nslookup/dig-like utility using either TCP or UDP.
