Natualy it will not be "better" nor will it be more acurate.
It wil only make it easier for me to read and compare with other tools.

I have looked in the snmp.sh to find a way to manualy multiply the counter
with 8, but I must admit, I do not no where and how to put it.
Can anyone give me a clue?
There is a >RETSTR="${RETSTR}${DSNAME}:${COUNTER}, "< in line 159 and I am
guessing it is the counter variable I need to alter, but again... I do not
know how :-)

Anyone? :-)

Thanks.
