Bill,

Thanks for the list.  We love it when users of our equipment give us
feedback on new features and how to improve.  Thanks.  Below are comments on
your wish list.

OSPF is on the schedule to put into the software.

This is always an ongoing project.  I think we've made progress on this, but
still need to do more.  I'll send this on to the configurator team for
input.

This is another feature we think is a good idea.  We are working on a
project that should be able to be modified to do this.

Have you tried this using the newest configurator?  There was a bug in the
configurator that made you have to turn off the ports.  Let me know if
3.86.10 lets you do this on your PC.
