Do these names to be so long?? I was thinking we cane drop the 'VALUEMETHOD' or 'METHOD' part. Would that be OK and which do you prefer??

I believe the ASN_ prefix should be SNMP_ and changed as such. That they are internally ASN_ does not matter. ANother thing I would like to ask is whether the group wants to support also all kinds of types of SNMP that are not standardized and somehow added to NET-SNMP as an expiriment. I believe it is better to drop those, what do you think?? Harrie Harrie
