Howdy, 

We have the cmu snmp stuff it should be in the xperiment ports section and
we also got Pohl-Koening who wrote the original tcl snmp package which the
cmu people borrow to implement their tcl interface. So track down Pohl pull
him by his arm and ask for his snmp package 8)

BTW: a side note --- at Cisco I used Pohl's snmp package to flush out bugs
in cisco snmp implementation . Actually we went hog wild with his package and
implemented a mini network management platform 8)

	Enjoy,
