There is also IPDISCOVER, but you can ignore it, because the new SNMP
and NETDISCOVER are better solution now.

FREQUENCY is not used at all in the FusionInventory Agent. Patch
welcome, but I don't know exactly how this should be implemented. The
Win32 agent is the reference, and we should study it first.

Indeed, since we want to port the FusionInventory Agent 2.x branch to
Windows, we will have to create a Registry.pm module.

Thanks :)
