I am looking for recommendations for MSDOS/Windows-based
SNMP Network Management apps. Commercial products are
preferred. Desired features:

   - independent of particular network equipment vendors
     (Proteon, Cabletron, et al)
   - nice graphical interface
   - mib browsing with ability to load or compile-in
     specialized MIBs, preferably from concise MIB form.
   - must be able to do set's

Please reply directly by e-mail.

I've played with a few DOS/Windows based packages.  You probably want to look at the
SynOptics, NetManage and NAT offerings.  The NetManage stuff is the most vendor
independent.  SynOptics has a lot of nice tools like MeterMan and MibMan which 
are MIB query/reporting tools.  NAT has a very nice MIB walker, and provides some
degree of reporting of 3rd party objects.

Novell has their NSM (Netware Services Manager) which is a platform for NM tools,
very much like SunNet Manager and HP OpenView.  I havn't played with this one,
but it has a lot of nice features, from what I've seen in the brochures.

You'll also want a pretty well equipped PC to run any of these on!  486 with
at least 12MB RAM, disk for storage, etc.

Good luck!
