   I started with Guinness I think that was 7.0. Oh the days of great   
   confusion. However some of those SNMP command line output would have   
   indicated a URL issue. Linux has come along way to be mostly GUI   
   driving, but sometimes good ol' command line can be the most effective.   
   Sure beats MS's "TroubleShooters" which work their "Black Magic" for   
   several minutes only to too often not solve the issue...
