Thanks for the note.

Not sure exactly what you mean "shorewall externals."  Shell? Perl? 
Network interfaces?  I wasn't looking for something to run on the 
device, but simply some that would generate the commands I could put 
into a script that I would then upload (or even copy/paste) to the 
device.

It might at least be a reachable goal for Linux-based routers.  I feel 
like I'm writing IPTables rules (imagine that, RouterOS is based on 
Linux), but with a slightly different syntax.

At any rate, thanks for chiming in.  Gives more more to mull over.
