stats from no agent nodes like switches, NAS, etc...

Hi,
Got Bix working, looks great. Before I can sell the product and get the ok to buy the software (we have about 150 nodes and growing), I need to be able to monitor our Foundry switches and BlueArc NFS sever.
While I have sflow enabled on the switch and an sflow collector, I prefer monitoring using Bix so everything is in one area.
How can I get Bix to collect stats off my switches and NAS devices?
I've a non slflow/non netflow Juniper router which I use MRTG to monitor but I would like to also Bix that puppy up as well.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
We have a plugin SDK, and some users have written simple scripts to either poll via SNMP / using a client that support sflow.
MRTG really has the best support in the industry for NAS/switches.
