While we must provide for networked installation we must also provide for non-networked installation. Also, I am a bit uncomfortable with SNMP for large chunks of text. Last time I checked, SNMP was rather complex in the way it dealt with things that wouldn't fit into a single packet. Anyways, while it's reasonable to expect that someone can map the interface onto SNMP, I see no reason to require it. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
