So WHY NOT PASS IT ON IN ifSpeed? If it doesn't matter to the Portmaster,
what's the excuse for NOT sending it along in SNMP? If the user wants it
to be *0*, they will set it to *0*, and it will get passed along that
way!. If they want ifSpeed to report *1536000*, they will SET it to
*1536000*, and it will get pssed along in SNMP that way.

It matters to the SNMP monitoring software, that's why. It depends on the
devices to report the speed correctly, which every device we have **EXCEPT**
Livingston does.
Can you give me a reasonable explanation why the Livingston SNMP
reports *0* for ether0 ifSpeed, when Morningstar, Cisco, 3COM, HP,
Adtran, CMU, et. al. report it correctly? Or does Livingston just like
to be different?
