Well I just perused the documentation at: <http:// snmplib.rubyforge.org/doc/index.html> It looks like a trap object holds a collection of snmp variables you could get at the info like this: trap.each_varbind { |v| puts v.name puts v.value puts v.value.asn1_type # or maybe v.asn1_type } or something close to that. I'm just reading the docs, not running the software. Gary Wright
