Usage:
    cfgmaker [options] [community@]router [[options] [community@]router ...]


I can probably muddle through the options with a few trials but I am 
lost  with "community@]router"

My router is known only as 192.168.1.1 but I'm looking at the output of 
the Wildblue receiver/modem and don't know how to address this except as 
eth0 on box10, the computer in which mrtg resides.

Any idea what goes there?
