Netpng Abstract

Usage  :  NETPNG is the Java Open Access Client (OAC) process which
	  pings network switches.  See the Java code for the Sybase table
	  name that is used for initialization.  To add a new switch, have
	  Brian Hendricks add an entry to the table.  Have the maintainer of
	  this OAC add a device of the form N:'switch name'.   The oac will
	  download itself.  The OAC pings all switches at a one minute
	  interval.  If three successive pings fail, the device's status is
	  changed from 'on' to 'off'.
	  To reinitialize this oac, perform a reset on device Z:NETPNG. 

Restart:  NETPNG is restarted when its DAE is restarted.
