Freeware ICMP Network Monitor Needed

Hi all

Once again I am trying to prise some information and experience out of you. 
 
Rather than use SNMP to view my network's serviceability, I am hoping that someone could recommend a nice freeware ICMP 
product.  That will pictorially, (to impress the budget holders) advise of any network outages (internal only) albeit a 
little late.  A program called What'sup was recommended but I can't find it anywhere.  Any suggestions, or is not worth 
the bother ?

My concern is runnning SNMP v2c on the agents, I want to avoid it if I can.  When SNMP v3 becomes settled, and provided 
they don't throw away the security as they did with v2 I may change my mind.  

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Take Care

Andy
