Unfortunately, this is being developed for another group and we don't
yet have access to the actual devices, however, the use snmp3 caught
my eye as a potential roadblock from the product information.
Additionally, I was under the impresion that snmpv2 support on Netview
is also very sparse until v7.x.
I wonder if anyone on the list has successfully monitored Nokia 740's
with Netview.
