I'm surprised to see the 7.3 MIB placed under { transmission 15 }.
This makes it difficult for a MS to detect if an agent supports
the 6.2 or the 7.3 MIB. In addition, if one uses a MIB browser, and
one has both 6.2 and 7.3 equipment, the 2 MIB's overlap in the browser.
Since the name space in the MIB tree is infinite, why not place the
2 MIB's under seperate branches.
