This is very useful if you want to automatic any task in servers, routers or any supported terminals. Is a unique terminal to my knowledge and it don't have any alternative that offer the same thing.

Out-of-date program. This program hasn't been in active development in 5 years, and the web site shows up as "Bad Gateway"
