[plug] Messaging using SNMP

[Andrew Cooks]

Hi Kevin

Having recently implemented an SNMP agent, I strongly encourage you to try
other options first.

Almost everything uses port 80 these days, so is that not an option?

If you need to subvert IT, socat on UDP port 53 is sometimes an interesting
option.
