I've done client (manager-side) development with WinSNMP and, when manager development was nearly finished, I abandoned WinSNMP and took up with Net-SNMP. Why was that? 1. Unlike Net-SNMP, there is no WinSNMP development going on; neither is there any support for WinSNMP. 2. Unlike Net-SNMP, WinSNMP does not support SNMPv3. 3. Net-SNMP is much more powerful, more accomodating, and more flexible than WinSNMP. 4. WinSNMP source code is not available, which makes diagnosing bugs a time-consuming and infuriating task. 5. WinSNMP documentation is complete, well organized, and user friendly; it caters to my fundamental laziness. Net-SNMP documentation sucks; it's a lot of work to find my way around. That was the reason I chose WinSNMP in the first place. But now that I've used both packages, I see that the advantages of Net-SNMP far outweigh this shortcoming. Conclusion: for manager-side applications I will choose Net-SNMP every time. -- Pete Wilson ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
