You can safely leave lines 3 and 4 blank if you want (although they should exist). In fact, if you use MRTG with RRDtool then they are discarded in any case. > current SNR values of a DSL modem.

Are you SURE that your script is outputting values in bytes/sec, and not in kbits/sec or bytes total? > Title[modem-snrm]: 2WIRE 1800HG SNRM > PageTop[modem-snrm]:2WIRE 1800HG SNRM > Options[modem-snrm]: bits, gauge, expscale, noinfo, nopercent, growright, > nobanner > Target[modem-snrm]: `/usr/bin/perl /home/michael/test.1800HG-v00e2.pl` > MaxBytes[modem-snrm]: 1250000 If this script is giving values from -1 to 9, then you should have MaxBytes[modem-snrm]: 9 and NOT the 'bits' option (which multiplies by 8). I think you should check the output of your script. Make sure the numbers are being printed in bytes/s for modem-sync, if not, then you may need to remove the bit or gauge options, or change your maxbytes appropriately. Make sure the values are being printed as straight floats, not in exponential notation. Also, if you are not using RRDtool (which it looks like is the case) then you've a problem as native MRTG alone doesn't like to handle negative or decimal numbers.
