The command above must be "$s configure -port 161".

The rest looks pretty good. I don't know what you have in your .mib
file, so there might be valid reasons why you do not get any
responses.

Some test you should make:
1) Can you read sysUpTime.0 from the scotty agent?
2) Turn on debugging by saying "snmp watch on" so that scotty prints
the SNMP messages it receives and sends.
3) Use tcpdump (or something similar) to check what is happening on
the wire.
4) Use strace (or something similar) to check what the Tcl interpreter
is doing (whether it wakes up from the select and calls recvfrm).
Depending on the results of these tests, you will be able to determine
where the problem actually is.
