Right now, you should use Devmon. It works, it is - from what I know - 
a lot more flexible, and it works with a lot of different types of
network gear.

There are really just two reasons why I started doing some SNMP
tools myself: 1) I was curious to see how it worked, and 2) I am
not sure how Devmon would handle the 12.000 network interfaces that 
I must poll every 5 minutes. It might work just fine, I haven't
really looked very much into how Devmon works.
