No no no.  Screw windows.  All you need is the mib files and mbrowse.
SNMP makes remote admin of these boxes a piece of cake.  Much faster
then a web browser.  Once you figure out what you are doing, then you
can just config and admin it with simple shell scrips, or if your a
hack like me, c code.  You can even use SNMP to monitor the PSTN
line status.  Way cool stuff and these boxes just run forever.

If you are ready to give up on the boxes and want to dump them at
a good price, just let me know.
