I've really only spent a few days trying to get to grips with SNMP! Only hours ago did I learn what a trap is! BUT, I think it all should be possible because there is a METACARD project that does more or less what I want to do, and by the sounds of things what you are trying to do to! http://www.metacard.com/apps4.html Mind you, they might have used externals. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
