Assuming I can find enough consulting work, I want to spend some time
building a better way of interfacing with these devices. The vendor
supplied web interface is equivalent to someone giving you a big pile
parts and saying, here's a low-cost car, You just need to put it
together yourself.

I want to focus on a task oriented interface where its notation is built
on what we as network developers use, not what the capabilities of the
device are. I did before with IP cop, I think I can do it again for more
complex device. If I do it right, it should be able to be a good
interface for any switch/firewall.

 for too long, people have made network infrastructure device user
interfaces complicated. It's time to make them simple.
