Gary,


Sorry, I misled you there, while talking to Mike, I changed the npconfig
entry to just the bare-bones and took out the SMNP_ENABLED=FALSE to try and
get some more info.

Tracy Johnson also suggested PJL_SUPPORTED=FALSE JAM_RECOVERY=FALSE which I
had in the original entry.

I like your suggestions of

     poll_interval_max = 120                 # Poll_interval decays to 2
min.
     data_timeout = 20                       # Allow for busy network.
     snmp_timeout = 20                       # Same network, same timeout.
     snmp_max_retries = 1                    # Only give it one chance.
     message_interval = 1

and will try various combinations to see if anything works.

Thank you guys for all your help. This is not as straight-forward a job as
I had first imagined. :o(

Cheers,
John
