John;
I don't understand why you cannot easily intergrate Compaq Insight into
NetView. I did this with version 5.1 and aside from one little typo
that I made, it worked fine. Have you read the section in the Insight
documentation about integrating into NetView? Its very straightforward.
The instructions work for version 5.0, 5.1, as well as older versions
becuuse the features that Compaq intergrated have not changed
significantly from one version to another.
Good luck!
