CM1000 modem log scraper thing

cm1000.py

## this is a quick and dirty script to remotely login to a Netgear CM1000 modem,
# grab the docsis logs and format them as a csv for saving later. the webpage will only show so many
# and logs can be eventually be lost. this is also an easier way to grab/view them

Any chance someone could update this to work with a CM3000?
