Peer Monitor was written for fun by Daniel Clarke.
For fun?
Yes, it was needed in a home network where MS Internet Connection Sharing
was used to share a single dial-up. We needed to see if the gateway computer was turned on,
whether the connection was open, and who (if anyne) was left computing
(so someone would not hang-up the modem if there was another user still possibly surfing).
It was written in London and Dunstable, Great Britain 
It is written in Visual Basic 6
It uses the following API calls:
* IcmpCreateFile - create a "file" to pipe ICMP socket to
* IcmpCloseHandle - remove this "file" (close the handle)
* IcmpSendEcho - send ICMP echo request of "Echo This"
* WSAGetLastError - get any WinSock errors
* WSAStartup - Initialise Winsock
* WSACleanup - Close down Winsock
* gethostname - Resolve a name into a packed address
* RtlMoveMemory - get the data
PM Team would like to thank the following people
for their help in developing a great final product:
* Claudio Piombetti Early testing
* Donald Dixon Testing version 1.5 and advice on two-column support
* Steve Jackson Showing me the ICMP routines
* John Glasscoc Conceiving two-column support
* Rich, Neil, Phil @ Brixton For "forcing" me to write this program
