Does anybody remember this?  I have media and/or documentation.  Version 
unknown!

My wife wants the space to store something else!

You can pick it up or pay the shipping.  If you ask nicely, I might even 
go down to the basement and see exactly what I've got.

google searches suggest it some type of server monitoring software 
(similar to OpenView?)

Yes, I have a copy here somewhere.  I used to use it when we still ran
VMS here in the department and it was pretty good.  Might make a nice
addition to a Hobbyist System especially as we tend to run more than
one machine.  Maybe someone still at HP could look into the posibility
of getting this released as Freeware as I don't think it still is or
has been a supported product for quite some time.

I have two copies, salvaged from the trash about ten years ago.  One is 
still in 'shrink wrap'.

It is a SNMP based monitoring software for DEC servers [VMS and DECunix] 
and network equipment. About like OpenView or NetView (anybody remember 
this?). It supported wintel stuff as well.
The support for it was ended during the compaq era. I think it was about 
the time when Compaq's (almost) similar product was out.

If I ask nicely, would you check the version? :)
Maybe it is the latest version (4.2 IIRC)?

It appears to be V2.2.  Also in the package: "Power Management for 
Digital Alpha Systems", and "BMC Patrol Agents and Patrol View for 
Digital ManageWORKS".

I've thrown lots of those over the years as they used to turn up with
every server.

It's simple to setup.  Current software would be hp SIM (free
download) - which is not so simple and is the framework for lots of
stuff.
