unknaszero ?

and does anyone have this kind of perl hack?

I want to, still trying to talk to the #$%@# cisco 675. if i telnet to it i
get their upstreams router, which means it's in bridged mode i think.
either way i don't know how to talk to it... i'm looking at getting them to
allow me to rewire their network to have the dsl router come straight off
the switch, but that's going to mean a 300 ft pull of cat 5...
