I'm not sure what you mean by NUI prompt, are you describing the initial config?
It would be a good goal to move all of that to the web interface... There are only about 10 pieces of information needed and it's not too complex but the more we could move to the GUI the better. Of course along with making the SIP domain and IP addressing easier to change (i.e., not requiring a complete system rebuild). I think the existing setup wizard does do a good job at a basic config but more configuration information could be provided after the fact (maybe in the DNS Advisor in the Diagnostics menu).
