So what? Compared to the command line interface of a PM Ciscos CLI is really
well done. Ever tried clearing the ARP cache of a PM? Ah.

As far as I know there are some nifty add-ons to OpenView; even CiscoWorks
is a nice tool. You might take a look at them.

It's not that off-topic. I'd like Livingston to do some work on their CLI as
well as I hate stuff that costs more resources and/or bandwidth than it has
to - and PMConsole is one of them.
