[hobbit] Devmon : a bbxsnmp.pl & routermon replacement

[Schwimmer, Eric E *HS]

For me, installing SNMP_Session was as easy as:

myhost% wget http://www.switch.ch/misc/leinen/snmp/perl/dist/SNMP_Session-1.08.tar.gz
myhost% tar zxf SNMP_Session-1.08.tar.gz
myhost% cd SNMP_Session-1.08/
myhost% perl Makefile.PL
myhost% make install

Also, I hate to be a nag, but please try to refrain from sending support
questions to the Hobbit mailing list.  Knowing my code, I'm sure that there
are going to be enough of them that people who aren't interested in Devmon
will start to get annoyed at the traffic levels :)

Trying to play with it too, I am sure I can figure out where to pop
SNMP_Session to get things to work.  Just anyone know the 'proper',
method ?

Does this deal with devices sending SNMO traps to, or just polling ?
