OK, although Rancid is not exactly what I was looking for. Still,
I'll give it a look.

Unfortunately, yes. Not only that, I work often in heterogenous
router environments. Often things that work well between a single
vendor's routers, do not work well with a myriad of different
makes, models, and firmware versions from off-brands......

The bitch of it all, is often I work on routers in non-climate controlled
environments, so they are rated to 40 C and beyond.........

I still cannot find the IOS syntax that compensates for heat and humidity......
I'm going to check out those minimal webservers, just for grins.

thx,
