If it compiles, scotty will speak SNMP. But it will treat windows
sockets much like UNIX sockets - which has some problems (I am not a
windows hacker so I am not 100% sure here): First, you do not get
usable error messages (if you get errors messages at all). Second,
there might be problems with the Tcl event loop so that asynchronous
requests do not work. Everything else should work - at least we were
able to send some SNMP messages a couple of weeks ago from a Windows
95 machine.
BTW, I got some email than Sun will support UDP channels in one of the
next Tcl releases but
"It won't be in the 7.6 release, may not make it into 7.7."
I don't know if we should write our own UDP wrapper, or try to
coordinate this with other groups interested in UDP channels, or hack
around it (using #ifdefs) until Tcl 7.8 (or whatever) is available.
