Ira,
Thank you for the explanation. I believe that I now understand the
situation. I did not realize that the MIB objects do not have to be under
the MODULE-IDENTITY arc.
I will make this number 9999 and add a note indicating that a proper
number will be included when the I-D is published as an RFC.
Thanks again,
