The show stuff is certainly there but the config is a bit different.  You may 
have to get used to using the "info" command.  :)

They also use logical IP interfaces which are then tied to physical, you don't 
directly configure L3 on a physical interface.  You also have designations 
between service and network physical interfaces, although nowadays they can be 
set as "hybrid.". 

It's really pretty simple if you are used to a Cisco or Juniper.  They have tab 
and ? completion now for both commands as well as elements similar to Junos 
which is helpful.

I will be getting one to try.  I am pretty sure it will support the ol'  
"show ?   ,    config  ?"  If not that might be a problem :-)

Thank You
