Why not just run FTP's or Wollongong's agent on the card? If you use a packet
driver or NDIS driver, you don't have to wait for Cabletron to support SNMP
on the card of your choice - don't see any advantage to Cabletron unless they
are extending the standard mib on the PC card.

This works great in my environment (using NetLab's monitor) and it's pc card
independent (and vendor independent).
