Hello,
This may be way-overboard, but I would love to see a virtual environment of a router-network.
Have a program that when launched sets up an environment. Use a couple shapes for routers, and have abilities to program in IP numbers and perhaps other protocols. Have it accept the subnet masks and other things... awareness of ports.
Use this environment to prototype network installations, and program Cisco routers. Have it visual to show if traffic flows between the networks or not. Be able to close ports and change subnets, and see if the traffic stops, or changes directions. Have it detect if there are loops in the network.
This is a way advanced program thing, but it would be quite helpful, and would be a long project that you could do something with. I would have it work on Linux, so that you can reach a lot of people with little OS cost.

Hi eveyone,
How about creating something practical like a win32 compiler that does not require any microsoft's dll's or activex controls thus making your final end .exe programs self-contained and independent of the windows operating system. this is quite a feat but if you succeed you will probably create history
Here' s to creating history
Yours Sincerely
