When runing Report.SNMP.System summary I get funky characters in the SNMP Description Field.

Wonder where or why its inserting those weird control characters.  That funky "y" for instances.  Something to do with the way its parsing the
that field?

Hi Mikeyjay - evidently - that's just the way the raw data is communicated back to CatTools. No cause for alarm.
