    I'm trying to run WANem on VirtualBox on Windows-7.
    I have no problem getting a textual interface to come up.
    However, I don't see a lot of functionality in the textual interface (maybe no WANem functionality in the textual interface?) .

    ==> How may I get WANem's GUI control screen to come up in VirtualBox? <==

    (I've tried a few versions of VirtualBox, from latest to very old, with no clue that WANem has a GUI available. - i.e. same results in each version.)

    I like what WANem should be able to do for the testing team, but can't seem to get to a useful state to begin learning about it.
    Looking forward to advice and successful use of WANem ! :)
    Thanks for help !

      Update !! :)
      Moving to WANem_3.0_Beta_2, VirtualBox selected a NetBSD emulator to run WANem_3.0_Beta_2, and the GUI came up!

      ? How much RAM should I set VirtualBox's VM to allocate to not use too much unnecessarily, but allow WANem_3.0_Beta_2 to run as efficiently as possible in VirtualBox ?

      ? Is the 512 MB that is used for the v2.3 virtual appliance sufficient for a VM of WANem_3.0_Beta_2 ? ?

      Thanks for suggestions!
