Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
I would have written back sooner but I have been too busy tweeking my working MRTG system :-)
When I was first looking for info on MRTG, I found a person who said hat you do not have to use SNMP and explained how to use your own scripts. That set me off on a tangent making that work. I never even thought to look for prebuilt scripts. Thank you for setting me straight.
MRTG-PING-PROBE ROCKS...exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again;
James
