Talk the SNMP Talk

I'm not sure if it'll apply to what I want to do, or to be more
exact, if it's not a needless excercise, considering you could
just have a cronjob that pings your ISP on a regular basis and
logs it. Not that it'd hold up, if you were to go to the ISP and
demand a prorate for the month due to their excessive down
time. That dog ain't gonna hunt, at least with most of them.
They will, all probability, tell you they do not guarantee 100%
or even close to it, uptime. Maybe for a commercial account,
but not for a home user. Be that as it may, I thought it would
be a good learning experiment. There are links on the page
to other subsequent followup articles.
