We've just acquired a fairly large collection of Ungermann-Bass
hardware to support a campus wide terminal distribution network and are
interested in learning about any procedures, scripts, programs, or
tricks other installations have developed for the supervision,
monitoring, and management of such equipment.  Among the kinds of things
we're interested in are:

	mechanisms for quickly/automatically disabling a whole set of
	ports when a computer system becomes crashes or becomes
	inaccessible for some other reason;

	mechanisms for automatically probing the network to find out
	who's using what resources;

	mechanisms to aid in summarizing overall network load rather
	than just local collision/error counts;

	anything else no matter how cute or kludgey.

We're also interested in whether anyone is using any of the direct
synchronous services of Net/One to support bisync, SDLC, or DDCMP
connections.
