	That's what I suspected...

	Sorry, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.  You can't squeeze that kind of behavior out of the net-snmp master agent without making major, probably nonportable changes.  I suggest you consider looking at the behavior you need to simulate and writing an emulator that does only that.


	HTH,

Mike
