Hi folks,

   Thanks to Kristian for the correct answer on our product which is
available off our homepage.  The web interface has been in our source tree
for sometime, although we have not officially announced that it is ready fo=
r
beta testing.  We expect to be ready for folks to begin beta testing of the
web interface in the next few weeks.

   We're talked to XORP about taking our web interface and incorporating it
into their project and will work with them to do this work.  We're also
preparing to submit the work that we've done on other features, such as
802.1q VLAN support (which we announced last week).

Take care,

allan

 Although I've worked a bit with the Vyatta projects OFR I haven't co=

 web interface so can't answer that bit. XORP is rather modular. =
There is currently no support for configuration of wireless devices, but=
 this could be added if someone just sat down and wrote some code :)
