PCNC uses it to transfer traps to and from the TCP/IP network.
The TCP/IP support program is called Newt and is loaded up
automatically by PCNC if the SNMP Link is enabled. If you are using
Chameleon earlier than version 4.5, you may need to run the SNMPD
program before you load PCNC, otherwise Newt will not load and you
will be unable to use the SNMP Link.
Also included with Chameleon is the FTP program which you will require
