   Thanks :-). Of course, we should also WTFM.   
      
   Documenting the configuration of a router is an horrible task. Recently   
   (months), my ISP handed me a new router. I had to print to PDF all the   
   configuration pages of the router (14 files for the "simple" config, and   
   66 for the advanced setup), one by one. Then do the new router, which   
   thankfully has a similar structure, and redo everything page by page.
