All recently Synchronet BBS's should support PING. I assked Digital Man to add
support a couple of years ago maybe. I expect a numebr of sysops are not even
aware. I don't even know if I have the PING flag, but I'll check later and I
can always get it added. I have found it a somewhat useful tool in debugging
some issues in getting messages from A to B.

Maybe you could try sending a PING to the entire nodelist and see what shakes
out.

Now as for TRACE, I've never heard of this one so will have to research it a
bit.
