Thanks Max.

The first couple of radios I looked at did or maybe MIB-II and a special 
Tranzeo table.

Is there a "table" of theses values somewhere?  All I've found, so far, 
is the RFC and they were spaced all through it.  I keep my book buying 
to one a month so I'll have to wait a week more before I can buy a book 
on SNMP. (Any suggestions?)

I saw some of them but I'm too ignorant of SNMP to know what I'm looking 
at.  :-(
