It's the later and anything can be mananged including software and
systems.

That's reasonable. Most of the RFC's are old because they were done
pretty well the first time. Some, like the NNTP RFC, could use a few
updated to include stuff that's become common practice.

It depends on what you want to do with it. Are you looking to monitor
performance and events or do remote configuration? For the former you
could probably use any of the tools Dallas mentioned. For the later you
ware going to need something more.
FWIW, OS/2 include SNMP agents and monitor software (TME) is available.
