No. Our UNIX support person suggested writing a script that would stop netmon,
stop and start snmpdx, then restart netmon. Not a true solution, but it allows
for less aggravation. Did you have any problem with the SEA upgrade?

Yes, we have upgraded the SEA to 1.0.3 and have started the snmpd with the
-f 0 as per the release notes, but still have the disconnect problem.
Has your problem been fixed?
