With IP Connectivity to each of the routers, perl scripting could be nice..

What we really need is an API that we can write to through Hyper Terminal. Tha
t way the current configuration on the router is moot. Just plug your console
cable into the Access Router and go!

Anybody know of an API like this? kind of like a 'readHyperTerm' and 'writeHyp
terTerm' functions?
