    I'm implementing an SNMP proxy server for some bridges and gateways
    that don't support SGMP or SNMP.  The first part of this project
    is for a class I'm taking this semester, so I'm on a short time
    schedule.

    Can anyone out there help me find any of the following,
    preferably via anonymous ftp?  I can spend some money,
    but it has to be a small amount for me to get it through
    the university system in a short period of time.  I can
    spend larger amounts for the longer-term project, as it's
    not so time constrained.

    1.  Any SNMP server/client code.
    2.  Any SGMP server/client code.
    3.  Any ASN.1 documentation, or conversion code.

Don't work on SGMP, SNMP is now the standard and is already
more widely accepted.  Your work would have a longer future
there.

    Also, any relevant documentation.  I have the following:

    idea0011-00.txt.1
    idea0011-01.txt.1

Pick up RFC-1065,1066,1067 which are the relevant documents,
these were all published in August.

    and I am aware of the existence of SGMP RFCs, though I haven't
    searched for them yet.  Is there another idea?  I thought I saw
    a reference to idea0011-02 at one point but I didn't see it
    at sri-nic.arpa. Also, does idea0011-01 supercede idea0011-00?
    Are the ASN.1 specs (ISO International standards 8824 and 8825)
    available via anonymous ftp, or can I call or mail someone to
    get them?  Is there a cost?  Does anyone have SNMP or SGMP
    packet descriptions or sample packets they could mail me?

    I'll be glad to package up what I find out and post it, if the
    contributor(s) ok it.

NYSERNet of course has an implementation of SNMP which we've
been shipping since August (and SGMP back in January).
