Console program for ICE-PACs

This macro loops on textual input for the following commands
on a devIce console port:

  NETCFG - Reconfigure Network
  START - Start ICE Server
  STOP - Stop ICE Server
  STATUS - Status ICE Server
  POWEROFF - Power Down Device
  REBOOT - Reboot Device
  EXIT - Exit Console

This console can also be run remotely by SSH'ing into the root
account on this devIce and typing 'ice console'.

Network reconfiguration can also be performed over the net using
a special PING packet when the devIce is booting.  

All devIce's initially come up at 192.168.0.123 for 3 seconds.  
If iceconsole is run with the /SENDPING switch on another node
connected to the devIce, it will be reconfigured to the address 
specified in the /ADDR=xxx switch.  A new netmask and gateway 
can also be specified in the /MASK=xxx and /GW=xxx switches. 
For instance:

  nM> iceconsole /sendping /addr=192.168.0.78 

will reconfigure the devIce currently booting to the IP=192.168.0.78.
After the devIce is booted to the new configuration, the pings 
will need to be stopped with a control-C.

Switches:

  /SENDPING - Starts sending a network configuration ping
  /ADDR=xxx = New IP address for devIce
  /MASK=xxx = New IP netmask for devIce
  /GW=xxx   = New IP gateway for devIce
