Are your saying that you want to send SNMP messages over IPX instead
of using UDP/IP as a transport? This would require to rewrite parts of
the tnmSnmpNet module. You basically have to replace the UDP socket
with an IPX socket. I have never done this but I would be interested
in any patches. :-) I would be happy to provide code that extends the
session configuration options so that you can choose between different
transports. (It would perhaps be interesting to add support for ATM
AAL5 sockets as well.)
