As an addendum to my previous reply.

We use Netview to monitor status and collect statistics on our 3Com equipment 
(3 @ Corebuilder 3500s, 3 @ 2500s, about 150 1100/3300s in 60 locations and 120
or so Superstack 10 devices in another 40 locations). Since we had a previous 
installation of Transcend for AIX, the mibs are loaded in Netview and we use 
the Netview (4.x for AIX) as the trap destination. We use Transcend Network 
Control Services for NT to manage configuration (thresholds, alarms) on the 
devices.
 
The AIX integration allowed us to do all from one box (just double click on an 
icon and Device Manager came up), but the RS6000 is much happier not having to
run Transcend. If we did not have the mibs from the previous installation (and 
the resultant modifications to trapd.conf) setting up Netview would be quite a
bit more difficult. We will fight that battle when we do our eventual Netview 
upgrade.
