I've always wanted to write a new FOSS one in a modern framework (say,
Qt).  Haven't had the personal time to do it though (and it's unlikely I
could attract funding to do it in today's leaning toward other
technologies).  tkmib, which comes with Net-SNMP, *probably* still
works?  I actually haven't run it in a while myself.
