Sorry...bad choice of words, I guess. Wasn't meant to be
a complaint. It's clear that I seem to be missing something fundamental.

It seems that setting SNMP:Config works for all *except* the
SNMP-Monitor tool. Any clues?

It won't create the charts in the first place...I get a message
that says
Interface 1 on router.foo.com [198.168.0.1] ignored (ifSpeed = 0).
(This is from a Livingston Portmaster router.)
I will look in the source for this feature and comment it out, I
guess....
Thanks....
