It works pretty well in IOS but typically you're changing a couple of 
things at a time. I definitely agree with the / as used in Kantronics has 
oddities. (Ask me how many things muck up with my 3 port KPC9612+...)

This works but could get odd for a single port device. You may want to 
handle the case where it is optional for a single port device. (Probably 
want to permit it though for consistency.)

...and if you do support cross-port digipeating make sure to allow WideN 
style digipeating across ports. The 9612+ can't...
