[Zope] Ping - Dicom Pïng result in Zope page

[Casey Duncan]

You can use popen from the os module built in to Python to call external 
programs and return the result back to the program. I imagine you could 
also use the Python socket services for this as well.

see: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-socket.html
