Since you are using "dialup", no tests will go purple, they will instead go
clear (white) if no report is received. That is by design (see man
hosts.cfg). If you want it to generate the alert for other tests while
ignoring the "ping" connection test status, then perhaps you need to use
the "?conn" tag. This will make it perform the ping test, but report a
clear status if it does not answer. Other tests should still report their
normal status.

Hi Jeremy,
My bad, the tag I'm using is dialup, not noconn...

Hi Damian,
I could be wrong, but I think that replacing noconn with dialup might
suit you better.
