 %%    This file contains the Netconf client interface
 %%
-%% @author Support
+%% Netconf servers can be configured by adding the following statement
+%% to a configuration file:
 %%
-%% @doc Netconf client module.
+%% {server_id(),options()}.
 %%
-%% <p>The Netconf client is compliant with RFC4741 and RFC4742.</p>
+%% The server_id() or an associated ct:target_name() shall then be
+%% used in calls to open/2 connect/2.
 %%
-%% <p> For each server to test against, the following entry can be
-%% added to a configuration file:</p>
-%%
-%% <p>`{server_id(),options()}.'</p>
-%%
-%% <p> The `server_id()' or an associated `target_name()' (see
-%% {@link ct}) shall then be used in calls to {@link open/2}.</p>
-%%
-%% <p>If no configuration exists for a server, a session can still be
-%% opened by calling {@link open/2} with all necessary options given
-%% in the call. The first argument to {@link open/2} can then be any
-%% atom.</p>
