[nsp] Low Priced SNMP Manager?

[Nauwelaerts, Nick]

we've been running big brother 1.9e together with routermon to monitor our
routers and switches (and a lot of other things as well) and are quite happy
with it. it has email alerts, sms, pager, ... combined with routermon it can
alert on reboots, cpu usage, when an interface goes down and when an
interface has errors or becomes saturated. not all that easy to configure
though.
