You may also elect to bypass the above prompts. To do so, simply include the options on the
command line in the exact order in which they appear in the prompts. You will be prompted
for any options you leave out. Therefore, the syntax for the command is:

ipxping [destnet] [destnode] [count] [size] [timeout] [type]

For example, the following command string will send 100 Novell-type pings, using 64 data
bytes per packet with a timeout of 1 second, to an IPX server with MAC address of
00:00:c0:21:a5:b8 on IPX network e8024:

ipxping e8024 00:00:c0:21:a5:b8 100 64 1 n
