Usage:
cfgmaker [options] [community@]router [[options] [community@]router ...]
I can probably muddle through the options with a few trials but I am
lost with "community@]router"
My router is known only as 192.168.1.1 but I'm looking at the output of
the Wildblue receiver/modem and don't know how to address this except as
eth0 on box10, the computer in which mrtg resides.
Any idea what goes there?
