I guess I never tried it.  I was using MRTG and using NetSaint... just so
happens that they worked together.  I try to keep things simple as possible.
Two programs to do monitoring is good enough and any more would start to get
hairy in certian areas.

I would love to know more about ThresProg though.  Where can I find it?

Is there any reason that you use NetSaint over MRTG's internal threshold
checking features and abilities to interact with external programs
(ThresProg)?
