The result I got said 172.  When I put this info in MRTG
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.0.172 it doesn't like it.

You actually need to download the mib files from 3com's web page, or
from my ftp://ftp.dcptech.com/ I'm still attempting to dig up some more
mibs from 3com, they don't have everything and most of their people are
pretty clueless.

You'll then need a mib browser, such as GETIF on Windows NT to do
snmpwalks of the mib tree.
