I created one to monitor modem/line usage

Yes, but it only loks at the ether port I believe.

Yes for utilization, error rates are session oriented (I think).

Yes to get the correct OIDs.

Thats all that needs done.

Theres a neat utility from MG-Soft www.mg-soft.com that allows you to
compile and browse OIDs using a Windows Explorer like interface (not IE3-5).
And will allow you to see all the the MIB and get specific data. Highly
recommended for setting up MRTG to monitor "unusual" OIDs.
