Hmm... I've been meaning to setup the archive (which has been stored), but
I haven't, untill recently, had the time.  Then I went and bought a DVD
drive... *poof* went my free time. :)

None of these are yet *implemented* specificially, but (except for the
multiple vlan thing) you should be able to kludge around these manually.
I'll add these to the TODO for 0.9x; if you've got any suggestions on how
you'd like the interface to present the stuff to you, please let me know,
coz I haven't the slightest clue how I'd do them yet.

Nope, you can just add the new cards/ports, rename the switch, change the
IP, whatever, from the Update Switch function.  Sounds like this might
become a FAQ, because I implemented that specifically for such a
situation.

Great.  My University (the folks I originally started LANdb for) has
decided not to even use it, so I've got no real testing ground to find
problems.  Thanks for the email.
