Well, took a while but the reason I wasn't getting Big Brother to read slot 1 item 1 was by some odd fluke... It had been assigned the same if-admin SNMP interface number as slot 3 item 5 and that prevented BB from finding it. The sloution was to issue the "if-admin -r" command and reset the system. All devices were reread and reassigned interface numbers. Now BB finds slot 1 item 1 as it had for the previous TNT. I don't know how this happened, but we were installing all cards at the same time. Still, it seems bizarre.
