4 nss.near.net (192.54.222.6) 10 ms !H 0 ms !H 10 ms !H
This indicates that nss.near.net returned "host unreachable", and thus
this *is* as far as the route goes. There are a few other
exclam-letter combinations that indicate ICMP error replies. This is
clear from the comments at the beginning of the code; it would be nice
if this were made into a man page...
it would also be nice if there were reasonable error messages. this
is 1991; two-character cryptic error messages aren't acceptable.
