   Yes, version 7 wd8003e had problems with Netwatch 0.30 for me too.
I got version 8 along with the new Beholder from the Netherlands, and
that fixed Netwatch 0.30  (don't get rid of 0.30, simple "source" display
is missing from new beholder in favor of SNMP)
    (I heard the drivers are on version 9 now, but I haven't tried them...)
