I would be inclined to agree with your statement that the major blame should lie on "router vendors" if you see your router vendor as someone that sells you the network elements + the NMS to manage it.

The NMS for the vast majority of network operators is "telnet", occasionally augmented with "syslog".

But in my guestimate the focal point of our search for a culprit should be the NMS or the NMS -> router management mechanism. Idealy the latter should be more computer friendly than text parsing.

Amen to that. Joe
