Run:
        getmany ip_of_specialix_box public iso
and see what happens.  You'll need the specialix MIB database in order to
convert the OID gibberish to text labels.  Compile it with /usr/bin/mibcomp.
See the man page for "mibcomp.sh".

Also try:
        snmpstat -s ip_of_specialix_box
        snmpstat -i ip_of_specialix_box

See:
        http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/sco/snmp_install.txt
for how to setup SNMP on SCO systems.  You don't really need to do all this
if all you want to monitor is the Specialix box.

I've never tried SNMP with a Perle/Specialix JetStream something.  The list
of monitored OID (object identifiers) is in the MIB database.  I could not
find it on their web or ftp site.  For terminal servers, you can monitor
just about anything that is set with the telnet interface, status info, plus
traffic and error statistics on a per port basis.  You should also be able
to turn ports on and off.  The FAQ doesn't help very much:

See:
        http://www.man.katowice.pl/mrtg
for a local example of using MRTG and SNMP to do monitoring and traffic
graphing.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
