Hmmm.  "getnext" might work with that OID, but "get"
won't...it does not identify an object or, more
importantly, an instance of an object.

MIB-2's "sysDescr" would be "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1", for
example, and you still (most likely) have to append
".0" to the end of that to warrant a response to
a "get".

Cordially,
