Hi,

I mean Unix Linux general solution, so please don't move my question, as it's Unix specific.

I would like to remotely control my "full" Linux router.
Already succeeded to compile Linux Unix dialog, running some tests.

The issue is dialog comes with a limited number of widget boxes for use.
So I would like to combine 2 or more boxes into one, integrating gauge with input, output and the like.

So I need to build GUI diagnostic tool for my router with data refresh,
to replace static Web interface.

Please let me know if ncurses library + dialog is the only solution to remotely control my router ?

Using VNC I still need to write GUI application, to be run on a router.

As dialog widgets work fine, please tell me, how complicated is to modify code of dialog widgets to get what I need -
more entry fields, info refresh for data transfer and the like.

Dialog code is GNU c.
Project is unfortunatelly no more maintained.
Contacted 3 other dialog developers, from man pages,
unfortunately contact e-mail addresses are no more valid.

My experince with Visual Basic and OCX controls is exactly what I would
to rely on my GUI interface for a router.

Unfortunately widgets cannot be used like OCX controls, to be put on a form to work.

If you are aware of any c programming environment, to let my job easier
in modifying c code, I would really appreciate your help.
