I made up a SNMP module for the excel spread sheet.  You can make
up worksheets with data that lives in router or systems (we have a

One could finger temperature@te.cc.cmu.edu.

Someone is cs (try laurence butcher@cs.cmu.edu) wired up the coke machine.
You could finger coke@something and see how cold the coke was.
