Indeed! The only thing I've found on 3com's site that's been of any
use in monitoring 3300s is the vlan mib from the 9300 collection.
There's clearly a lot of other stuff accessible under "enterprises",
but so far I've not found how to decode it. If anyone has any pointers
I would be interested in hearing too.

What I do have is a fairly rudimentary 1100/3300/3300XM monitoring and
configuration tool, using expect to change things and Tnm 3.0 (99.08.12
snapshot) to query the devices' states. It needs tidied up a little,
and there's minimal documentation, but if you're interested I could
make it available.
