Yes I can.  Both from my Windows 2000 PC with GetIF and from the MRTG 
Linux PC using SNMPWALK.

I'm at a loss.  I think the wait times for the SNMP queries has changed 
from version 2.9.4 to 2.9.10.

Thanks for checking....

Michael,

Can you do a successful 'snmpget' or 'snmpwalk' against your
AS/400 at all?
