Re: Rptr MIB Edits - Issue 5

Hi all,

	Suggested changes follow for the descriptions of UNmapped objects.
John's alterations for all other issues looked fine to me.

      .aMediaType		      This object is a function of the 
				      Physical Media Dependent (PMD) 
				      layer, which is defined differently 
				      for each type of network. For an 
				      802.3 network, .aMediaType 
				      corresponds to the PMD definitions 
				      in the 802.3 MAU MIB. For management 
				      of an 802.12 network, mapping of 
				      this object is deferred to future 
				      work on an 802.12 PMD MIB which 
				      will include both repeater and 
				      interface PMD information and 
				      redundant link support.
