Running as a Ping Server

If you wish to test connectivity without running other MTP/IP applications, you can run mtping in “server” mode:

mtping -s <port>

When run like this, the program will listen for ACT_PING and ACT_IDSTR requests on the given port number.  For each request received, it will print out information about the request, and send back an appropriate response.
