I did!  I would even script some of the commands for the Cisco or ACC
routers we used if I didn't have access to them in advance.  I always
found the Newton's handwriting recognition to be pretty impressive but
the dots and slashes in addresses and subnets didn't work as smoothly
and the onscreen kb was tedious.  Sadly, I don't get to play with routers
much any more.
