    a ? or get/ show tech support doesn't enumerate anything. Netscreen
    firewalls have IOS like commands and OS.

    fwiw, I've done a similar thing with a smaller dictionary: /usr/dict/words,
    words from Phrack issues, and the telecom digest archives
    ( http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/telecom-archives/archives/glossaries/ ).  I also
    added a list of single non-word characters (!, @, #, etc) and every
    combination of A-Z up from 1 to 4 bytes in length.  Took a while
    (this was over 2400 baud dialup), but it was fruitful.
