The ITU-T standard V.58 MIB passed its vote in Geneva on 9th June. There will be work ongoing within TIA (and between interested parties) to convert V.58 into SNMP format. My viewpoint (which I believe is representative of many within the modem community) is that the current modemmib is far from adequate for modem management, and that a V.58 based MIB would be preferable. It was also decided within the TIA and ITU that the new extended AT command set standard should closely follow V.58 .. this means that the behaviour of the modem from a control perspective will be (almost) independent of the protocol being used to convey control or management messages and that a simple mapping between SNMP operations and AT commands would be feasible (thus allowing some management of modems via the RS232 interface).
