Duh. I never thought to look in the MIB mess for port number. Thanks for a
VERY valueable clue to making netcat work. Going down the list:
80 Web server
515 LPD/LPR
2000 Parallel 1
2501 Serial 1
9100 HP Compatible Parallel 1

I've never seen 9099 used. I'll see what I can figure out.

Well, you need the MIB database for the N17 to make sense out of some of the
OID's (Object Identifiers). That should be somewhere on the Xerox web pile.

Yep. I volunteered myself to scribble some stuff on how to configure and
use SNMP with SCO systems. Some-day-soon. See:
http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/sco/snmp_install.txt
for some clues. Whenever I have a "problem" with a machine or device
(including printers), I setup monitoring using SNMP. I usually use MRTG
(Multi-Router Traffic Grapher) for the logging or some Perl based kludges
that I threw together for the purpose.
