Tangent: RFCs 821 and 822 just updated (April 2001) to 2821 and 2822,
if anybody's interested in SMTP email stuff. Your browser will bring
the following up in plain text:

ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2821.txt
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2822.txt

Monitoring is fine. I just want to get started with it. Anybody have
urls for the tools or should I start searching?

OS/2's Help doesn't give info on these agents when I search on "SNMP".
Neither does dir /s | find /i "snmp". Get me started here -- what are
these agents? I want to use them on 127.0.0.1 to see what they report.
