How to get ping and telnet on MacOS High Sierra.

I know these are not secure apps but I still use them all the time. Download inetutils and get ping and telnet.

https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/

open terminal

cd Downloads

cd inet*

./configure

Install command line tools

./configure

make

sudo make install

I have trouble with the inetutils ping because it ignores lost packets. This is my fix to stick with macos ping.

cd /usr/local/bin

sudo mv ping ping.bk
