[erlang-questions] SNMP n00b problem

[Edwin Fine]

Hi Ben,

The only information I have found that helped me in a practical way with
Erlang SNMP is here: http://www.trapexit.org/SNMP_Quick_Start
Have you checked that out? I actually managed to get a prototype working,
but then had to move on to other things.

Regards,
Ed
