It's funny you mentioned that - just came back from Networkers 2004 in
New Orleans, and this was one of the biggest complaints and hottest
topics there - and you know what the answer of Cisco
"geeks"/developers was? They recognized their web interface sucks, and
they are looking (?!?) into better java support, but it is a problem
of speed that they're dealing with, and the only solution for this -
so far - is (presumably) what they already offer us ...
