There doesn't seem to be anybody here who is willing to share experiences 
with any of these products, I tried last month. Well, a few, but nothing
that makes me satisfied. (Which means I'll have to try a couple myself, I 
think). Anyway, you are missing a few.

DEC mcc			Digital (VMS and Ultrix)
Sunnet Manager		Sun
Openview		HP (PC-based)
Something?              Vitalink ( I think it's a repackaged HP product )

What I am missing is configuration informations, such as which of these 
products can use imported MIBs. I have been reading the Hughes manual, and 
as far as I can tell that one won't. A scorecard maybe is a good idea.
What should be in it ?
