Sometime in September Alexandros Papadopoulos assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| The question is, does your router support logging to a remote syslog?

It supports snmp and I've set up snmptrapfmt, but I must admit that the
information it's logging isn't really meaningful to me. Is there a way
process this type of thing: 

20040919.134240#192.168.0.1#(null)#6#1#327904#[1]
         SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3955.1.1.0 (OctetString) : @in
         4.183.152.175 3939 141.158.106.10 445.#[2]
         SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapAddress.0 (OctetString) :
         192.168.0.1#[3] SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpTrapCommunity.0
         (OctetString) : public

into something meaningful. The reason I am curious is that everyonce in a
while network traffic at home stops and I have to reboot the router in
order to get it to work. I thought that by logging the snmp stuff I might
be able to grok the problem. I suppose I'll have to wait until it locks up
again and see what the log says, if anything.
