SNMP Implementations
____________________

We are running Internet and DECnet networks on our sites. Compared
with DECnets capabilities for network management, Internet has
been weak in our installations (is this also true in other
installations?).

Since SNMP has been standardized very fine in RFC1098 etc. I would
like to know if somebody knows of a complete implementation on the
market for SUN-UNIX and VAX-VMS machines.

As I understand from the RFC1098 etc. I get the understanding,
that SNMP is mainly intended for collecting (traffic ..) information,
but restricted in support for trouble shooting. I hope, there
is somebody who will correct this interpretation.

Is there somebody (or do you know somebody) who is running
Internet and DECnet concurrently? I would like to discuss
the related problems with him (e.g. how to collect
operator messages out of VMS, UNIX and gateway machines at a 
single location/printer).
