+scotty - network management extensions to tcl
+
+scotty is a tcl extension which allows to set up TCP and UDP
+connections, to send various ICMP packets, to query the domain name
+system (DNS), to check clock screw using the NTP protocol and to query
+various SUN RPC services (like rstat and mountd).
+
+Included in this package is an interface to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. The
+SNMP stack was written from scratch to provide an efficient and
+portable tcl SNMP extension. MIB extensions can be written in tcl by
+running the scotty extension as an SNMP agent. This allows you to
+implement your own specific MIB without getting in contact with the
+lowlevel ASN.1/BER stuff.
+
+tkined, a very nice graphical network monitoring tool based on scotty
+is available as pkgsrc/net/tkined.
