It delivers most of the common monitoring features - and if it doesn't send me email and we'll make sure that it does! www.ascend.com/navisaccessdemo It doesn't deliver sound and an SMTP client i.e. something that doesn't have to login. While the tool is good for a NOC that sits and literally focusing on *the* screen all day for alarms, sounds and mail-2-pager gateway [ read: smtp client to sendmail/alias ] is what would put me over the top for NavisAccess. I spoke to someone at Internet Expo/NYC and didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling that Ascend was as open as above to adding these features. MRTG can be customized to do it, in conjunction with NOCOL.
