Hmm, dunno of online resources (but I have not searched). A very good source
for all the SNMP related stuff is the book about SNMP network management
by Marshal T. Rose.

Dunno, I don't use CMU. There are several spinoffs of CMU, maybe one
of them does better. When it comes to SNMP prototyping my favorite is
"Scotty". Scotty is a Tcl extension which can do almost anything you
ever wanted to do with SNMP (and even more, like ICMP, DNS etc). It
comes with TkINED, a whole NMS written using Scotty and Tcl/Tk. And
(probably more useful for prototyping) it comes with a MIB browser
(mibtree) that shows you a tree view of the MIBs it has loaded (it has
no problems to load the whole Ascend MIB kit btw) and allows you to
scan through it rapidly.
