SNMP is not really for the home user. Nor for the small office.
But home adsl-routers often have snmp capabilities.
Software to receive SNMP traps - snmptrapd (basic, must be scripted), nagios. There are of course commercial solutions out there, mostly enterprise level (BMC Patrol, IBM Netview/Tivoli, etcetera).
If you want to play and learn about the possibilities, snmptrapd is a good place to start. I wouldn't call it plug&play though.
Mmm. Could snmptrapd be used to simply write what it gets to a text file, so that I can look and find out if there is anything interesting there? I found <http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Configuring_snmptrapd>. I'll have a look. I also wanted to have a look at cacti, but it seems complicated to set up. There is a wiki page on that at opensuse.org -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
