Sorry, I wasn't explicit enough.  I'm well aware of these 
capabilities.  I'm looking for something similar to systat in that one tool 
has access to all the data pulled by netstat | kvm | icmp | ip | tcp | udp 
| iostat | vmstat | etc | etc and can write this information to a flat file.

A similar type capability to compare on Solaris is SymbEL 
(http://www.setoolkit.com) which pulls information directly from the kstat 
driver.  This is what Orca (http://www.orcaware.com) uses on Solaris 
systems to collect a large amount of information from Solaris systems.

I've never compared what SNMP provides to what systat displays but I would 
think certain statistics don't show up in SNMP.
