[SunRescue] OT: UNIX network diagram tool.

[Mike Hebel]

Wasn't there a combo diagramming/management tool called Unicenter TNG once?
IIRC that had an OK layout tool as well.

I personally learned to use a proprietary CAD system for the layout of my
current office.  I turned down M$ Visio when I found out that the price went
from $50 approx to $250 approx.

Had this requirement in a pervious job - I tried dia and a few other
things, and wound up justifying a VMware licence and just running
visio under NT. Between that and being able to run IE instead of
Netscape, I experienced sharply elevated levels of life satisfaction.
In my present job, I bought a SunPCi card out of my own pocket for the
same reason.
