Thanks for the Feedback Paul.

The binary only tool doesn't connect to a firewall at all. It requires no
connection and can be ran 100% within a sandbox. It simply takes data from
your firewall. I find that binaries tend to be more user friendly rather
than saying install python, wx.python..etc.

But I do agree with you. This was a sneak peak that I wanted feedback on. I
had always planned to make this open source much like my other project tpcat
(a packet capture analyzer http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpcat/)

Anyhoo. Updated binary and source available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ciscoconnection/

It will run on all modern systems all you need to do is install python and
wx.python. I've tested it on Windows/OSX/Linux.

Thanks again all.
