I know this might be very special, but you know I like challenges with our system.
So here is the quest: I got a "new" network Gigabit card, for one of my PostScript printers, that claims to be even compatible to Mac OS 7 + 8. The producer offers a so called MIB for monitoring and configuring it.
As I never heard about MIBs (Management Information Base) before, I tried to find out more details, and learned that they are modules for SNMP. With OpenTransport SNMP we have this "Simple Network Management Protocol" in general. As the MIB itselve is a simple ASCII file, it should be possible to control my Gigabit network card with Mac OS 9. But how exactly? What do I need to do, to take real configuring activities? What to do with this MIB to reach the card? And how to use it, if it is working only with TCP/IP not with SNMP?
Has anybody ever used a MIB and can enlighten me? ;)
