	I'm biased, but if you are doing mostly
host monitoring and some network monitoring, you may want
to check out "sysmon", a package that I've written.

	http://sysmon.org/

	I've been getting ready to make it understand a 
network topology where you have N x T1/DS3/E1/E3/OCn path somewhere
in the network, which makes it not perfect for monitoring each circuit,
but it also supports dependencies so if a circuit, router or switch
fails, you only would get a message from it saying that that device
failed (if you configure it properly of course).

	I'm always interested in feedback as to why my software sucks
too...
