Are there any plans to add support for 3Com devices and if not is their any way to create custom templates?

I've already brought this up with Development they are trying to get some 3COM kit to do some template development. You can create your own scripts as long as the kit you are using is CLI based.

Thanks,
The 3com 5500, 8800 and 7700 families are CLI based, are there docs that show me how to create the scripts?

Try this path:
C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\DeviceTypes
Copy an existing device config and rename it using the proper OID.
Example of the Generic config template:

<!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools-->

<Configuration-Management Device="Generic CLI Devices" SystemOID=" 1.3.6.1.4.1####Make sure you change the OID####">
<Commands>
<Command Name="RESET" Value="terminal width 0${CRLF}terminal length 0"/>
<Command Name="Reboot" Value="reload${CRLF}Yes"/>
<Command Name="RebootAt" Value="reload at ${HH}:${NN}${CRLF}Yes"/>
<Command Name="EnterConfigMode" Value="config terminal"/>
<Command Name="ExitConfigMode" Value="end"/>
<Command Name="Startup" Value="configuration"/>
<Command Name="Running" Value="running"/>
<Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="Show ${ConfigType}"/>
<Command Name="UploadConfig" Value="${EnterConfigMode}${CRLF}${ConfigText}${CRLF}${ExitConfigMode}"/>
<Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value="copy ${ConfigType} ${TransferProtocol}://${StorageAddress}/${StorageFilename}"/>
<Command Name="UploadConfigIndirect" Value="copy ${TransferProtocol}://${StorageAddress}/${StorageFilename} ${ConfigType}"/>
<Command Name="EraseConfig" Value="write erase${CRLF}Yes"/>
<Command Name="SaveConfig" Value="write memory"/>
<Command Name="Version" Value="show version"/>
</Commands>
</Configuration-Management>
These are the files you'll need to edit/create to make new templates. I know I didn't explain it well but if you call support I'm sure they'll be able to help you with it further.

Does anyone know where the ${ConfigType} variable is set in the templates?

Jon,
The ConfigType is set in the two lines for Startup and Running. Startup and Running are defined when you choose which configuration it is that you want to download. In the example template ConfigType would be set to 'configuration' if you chose the SartUp configuration to be downloaded from within Cirrus.
Best Regards,

couple questions:
1) is it possible to define your own template variables such as <Command Name="<myvar>" Value="<myval>", and use these in our templates
2) I've been told that the TFTP commands in the templates are for future use - can you confirm this ? It appears that currently all the config UL/DL is done by just listing the config in the cli session and Cirrus copies the buffer to a config file , for UL, it logs in and writes each command out. For uploading entire config files this isn't a good way to do it IMO, as this could take a really long time on some configs, over a network. Seems like tftp should be used to load an entire config file to the device, much quicker. Is there a reason I'm missing as to why this isn't the case now ?
3) If we develop new templates that work for certain equipment that Cirrus doesn't support quite yet, where should we shoot these templates to ?
