I'd use NetView as my SNMP trap collector every time.  As you say, much
less configuration hassle.  I would also suspect much more robust...

Just make sure you don't accidentally get NetView and the SNMP TEC
adapter trying to run on the same box or you'll have a fight over
UDP/162 (NetView will almost certainly lose).

Cheers,
Jane
