this works but i don't understand it. it retrieves data from my
router.
  params = urllib.urlencode({'RC': '@D', 'ACCT' : "root", 'PSWD' :
"71:29:26", 'URL': 'admin' })
  ipurl = "http://" + iphost + "/cgi-bin/logi"
  urlfp = urllib.urlopen(ipurl, params)

i was wondering exactly what those params mean.
i have some other code that wants a user name and password and i don't
know what to give it. is the username = 'root'?
and what is the password? a string with 3 two digit numbers separated
by colons?
what is the 'URL' param mean?
somewhere to find documentation?
