James,
does the non-support of Linux by Cisco really matter if Netview & Ciscoworks
are running on two separate boxes ? Imagine Netview (with Integration kit) is
running on Linux and Ciscoworks is running on Solaris, then I think your kit is
worth running. Am I wrong ?
Regards,
Bernard Baudoux,
Fortis Banque.
