Just for the record, I think this is the first time I've seen a
religious war on the net specific to CMISE vs SNMP.  I'm surprise this
hasn't happened sooner, but then I don't follow this group much and I
might of missed previous ones.

I thought Bellcore's direction for operational interfaces to network
elements was to use CMISE.  So says TR-828.  This has certainly been
their stance in T1M1.  And they certainly have a large number of
specified MIBs for use with CMISE.

So it seems I'm equally uninformed as Mike. Would you please provide
us with references of the Bellcore documents to which you refer?

Does navy.mil have an axe to grind with GOSIP too? :-)

Just out of curiosity Mike, what committees are defining this?  Or is
this home grown?

Thanks,
