Bill,
 
I actually did what James suggested and
concatenated the Dell MIB to RFC1213 and that did the trick.

Could it be a problem with case?  Here's an entry
from another definition; note the phrase "DISPLAY STRING" is in upper
case.  
        system.sysContact.0 : DISPLAY STRING-
(ascii):  System administrator

I am getting errors when loading a MIB for Dell but I
am not sure what the 
error means. Anyone out there have
an idea what this error is telling me? 
Thank You!
