Yes, I was thinking that you need to learn a bit about
the IP and networking implementation of Genera.
Not that much is documented, IIRC.

Did you lose it? ;-)

Hey, several months ago I loaded it into my MacIvory and it worked
(I can't remember if I had to patch much...). :-)
I'd need more time to learn about it, but it seems attractive
- especially since I'm working for a company which
uses routers and switches from Cisco, Ascend, Asante, 
Bintec, Netopia, SUN, ...
I'm still dreaming of a network control system running
on my Lispm... Your SNMP agent would be a nice building block.

Thanks!
