I take a look at Billion manual. It seams that you have to use it's firewall to add an allow rule for protocol icmp? and source IP 0.0.0.0. Destination might be also 0.0.0.0, haven't had the time to study it. This should allow pings from outside.

Thanks very much. Actually protocol ICMP does not seem to be allowed in the Firewall on my Billion 5200S RC. But I see that this protocol is allowed in "Access Management". I just tried adding a rule with ICMP protocol, but it seemed to have a bad effect! (I was cut off from the outside world.) I'm sure this is the right way to go, anyway, so I'll continue my experiments.

Thanks again.
