Yes. OLPC deployments have historically had this tool in the form of
olpc-netstatus which is indeed very useful. Sugar should provide an
equivalent.

I wouldn't say it's important to expose in the UI itself, but if you
want to go that route then 2 places would spring to mind. First would
be some kind of visual indiciation or mouseover of the school server
when we display it on the neighborhood view (long term design
proposition but never implemented), and the 2nd one could be in the
palette for the network view.
