	This is the string we use to monitor our Cobalt's:

	Target[ServerName]: 2:PassWord@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

	The PassWord is, of course, the Read-Only Community 'string'
which is set in the SNMP Parameters thingy via the link on the
'Control Panel' menu selection.

	To All That Read This: While we are on the subject, if you
haven't done so already, I'd strongly suggest setting the 'strings'
(password kind of things) on the SNMP Parameters menu of your
Cobalt.
