Given that some articles are appearing about it,
this week, I don't think I am giving away any secrets to 
mention that the group which is sponsoring an SNMP demo for
the Interop conference held a "hot staging" at NSL's OpenLab
facility, two weeks ago, and held another staging on the
East coast, last week.  About 30 vendors and about 45 SNMP
implementations were tested at OpenLab.  (There is an enormous
interoperability matrix that grew on one of the whiteboards
over the course of the week.)

It would be foolish to assert that all implementations worked
perfectly, but it certainly is clear that the protocol is
real, solid, etc.
