Please don't think I'm trying to argue with you. All that I am saying
is that it is perfectly legal for an SNMP implementation to return 0
for a value.

On systems I have worked with where the interface is externally
clocked, I have done both; returned 0 and returned the value that the
customer entered. There doesn't seem to be a right way to do this,
and I have received complaints no matter how I did it.

I guess my question then is this: If you know what the interface speed
is and you have to enter it into the PM, why can't you also plug it
into your software? This is certainly going to fix things a lot
quicker than Livingston is going to respond to your problem. Again,
I'm not trying to be argumentative here, just realistic.
