Hmmm... Anything enteprisey. I once had to interop with Viacess-Orca RiGHTv IPTV/DRM clusterfuck, and wouldn't recommend anyone to get remotely close. Not just to that, but to anything SOAP. Then, maybe, PayPal's NVP APIs. Quite a mess (although, I guess, I can understand why it's that way), with docs not really covering the fine details, esp. all the possible failures.

a what?
Not exactly the best way to control a network device. But it is what we have.
Plus, every machine tries to do something different with the non-standard stuff. And different parts of the APIs (called MIBs) from the same vendor follow different reference conventions, so you end up asking a lot of (mostly useless) data to be able to change something from up to down.
Avoid it if you can and use something simpler, like sshing to the device.
Didn't know it could take so much code for polling simple data for IDs.

... because you're talking about that Wordperfect 5.0 with blue screen on a text terminal, right?
I knew you could do some mail merge stuff, but nothing more.
Thanks!
