[HECnet] req for assistance: is snmp blocked for some / all ? does it work?

[Johnny Billquist]

Won't help much when I'm sitting at my RSX machine and try to 
troubleshoot something...

But sure, if someone writes a tool that runs under RSX that can extract 
information, and preferably do that given a DECnet nodename, then it 
would certainly help.
