MRTG works well enough, I suppose, but I'm partial to Cricket (cricket.sourceforge.net) for the router/device snmp monitoring job. It's far easier to configure, and I've found it to be much less of a performance hog on a mid-sized (50 routers and such) network -- I can't imagine trying to scale MRTG much past that. -Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason C.
