  Hi there DECmanagers...!

 Well, there were some very usefull sugestions to my network statistics needs...

 - Bob Applegate (bob@waterw.com) sugested MSQL and ESL (ftp site:
bond.edu.au), a small SQL database that can hold SNMP data, and a scripting
language to make SNMP queries/alerts.

 - Andrea Zuccollo (andrea@ing.unico.it) sugested NNstat (I am sorry, I used
archie.internic.net to find it, and I just cant remember where I got it...,
but the software is from NSFnet, so you should find it in some NSFnet site),
it is composed of a server part and a client part, the server collects the
data, and the client can retrieve this data and makes statistics on it. It
uses a relatively simple language to define the objects we want to analyze.
VERY GOOD!

 -Kursad Keskinege (kursad@bornova.ege.edu.tr) sugested NoCol (Network
Console, ftp site: ftp.navya.com/pub/vikas), it is a powerfull network
analyser and monitor, but for what I have tried, it is somewhat hard to make
stats. with it (it can however measure a link throughput in Kbits/sec. using
TCP port 9 - Discard).

 - Aidan Williams (aidan@cse.unsw.edu.au) also sugested NetraMet (ftp site:
ftp.cse.unsw.EDU.AU:/pub/users/aidan), NetraMet seems to be very good (I
haven't tried it completly, but it seems very powerfull...).

  Well, from the sugestions above, I am using a mixture of NNstat (to make
detailed statistics) and NoCol (to check the condition of the network and
outside links). 
  I will also build some of my own scripts to adjust the software to my
needs, if I make something interesting I'll warn the authors.

 Special thanks to Aidan Williams for giving me his own patches for NetraMet.
